[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 558596] Re: xorg crashes after switching from tty7 - tty1 - tty7
Also normal user switching from GUI triggers the bug: Preparations: === 1. Plug in external monitor to your laptop (bug does not trigger with single display setup) 2. Adjust your display settings (from the preferences menu) so that the image is displayed only on the external monitor OR on the laptop screen, but NOT on both 3. Do not close your laptop lid, closing it prevents the bug from triggering (since login screen is not presented on multiple monitors) Steps to reproduce: 1. Reboot (or shut down and power on) - at this point the login screen should be displayed on both monitors 2. Log in - at this point only external OR only interal monitor should be displaying image 3. from Indicator Applet Session - Switch From account... - login screen is presented, your account should be marked with a green checkmark and logged in text - this screen should be displayed on both monitors 4. Click your account and enter password EXPECTED RESULT: you get back to your already active desktop session ACTUAL RESULT: X crashes, new login screen is presented displaying that nobody is logged in - to reproduce again, you must reboot So no using keyboard is needed to switch between VT:s. Bug triggers in very ordinary multiuser situations. Tested with two different up to date, clean installed, encrypted Lucid laptops having Intel GMA 950 display adapter. -- xorg crashes after switching from tty7 - tty1 - tty7 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/558596 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 558596] Re: xorg crashes after switching from tty7 - tty1 - tty7
I'am able to reproduce this consistently. Configuration: HP laptop nx7400, Intel GMA 950. HP LP2475w 1920x1200 external display connected to the laptop via VGA1 no xorg.conf, default desktop effects enabled In my account I have enabled the external display (VGA1) and disabled the laptop display (LVDS1) from graphical preferences dialog. Laptop lid is open all the time. Here is the xrandr output: --- ~$ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1200, maximum 4096 x 4096 VGA1 connected 1920x1200+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 546mm x 352mm 1920x1200 60.0*+ 59.9 --clip--- LVDS1 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 1680x1050 60.1 + --clip-- TV1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) Steps to reproduce: 1. Reboot 2. Type in Luks password (I have encrypted root) (both laptop and external are displaying the same image) 3. Log in (again both laptop and external displaying the same image) After login only external VGA1 is displaying image. 4. Press: Ctrl+Alt+F1, result: both laptop and external display are displaying the same image 5. Press: Ctrl+Alt+F7, EXPECTED result: back to the logged in desktop, ACTUAL result: login screen displaying that nobody is logged in anymore 6. Log in. Now the xorg session is at VT8 and the bug cannot be reproduced anymore without reboot. -- xorg crashes after switching from tty7 - tty1 - tty7 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/558596 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

I'am also able to reproduce this with my another laptop: Acer Aspire One, also having Intel GMA 950 and running Lucid. Same steps as in my previous comment above work. I couln't reproduce the bug without external display. -- xorg crashes after switching from tty7 - tty1 - tty7 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/558596 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
