Okay, thanks. That's a video driver problem then, or a missing blacklist

I can't reproduce this. If I already have a guest user, the setup script
rightfully fails:
$ sudo sh -ex /usr/share/gdm/guest-session/guest-session-setup.sh
+ USER=guest
+ PWSTAT=guest P 11/28/2008 0 9 7 -1
+ echo+ cut -f2 -d
guest P 11/28/2008 0 9 7 -1
+ [ P != L ]
+ echo User account
I just installed today's (2008-11-28) new patches to 8.10 Intrepid, and I still
get the
crash I noted earlier:
Attempting to select another user in the user switcher crashes the
system immediately.
One possible idea: The /home directory was imported from an earlier release,
so perhaps some
I'll try to reproduce this with an existing account.

My system still crashes on switch user. I also removed the fglrx proprietary
ATI drivers, rebooted,
and observed the same failure.
Gnome, AMD64 SMP box, dual-head ATI R3xxx videocard.
I'm happy to test any fault isolation ideas.

I'm having the same problem too; selecting the 'Guest session' causes
the screen to go blank and the PC becomes unresponsive. The only option
is to power it off; logging in via SSH doesn't work - I can't even ping
it once it locks up.
Like Robert above, I've got a dual-head setup with fglrx. I'm
I found the solution for me.
Click System -- Administration -- Login Window
I changed the Default session to Gnome That fixed it!
I hope that helps people who have the same issue (excluding the FGLRX issue)

1. I have the same problem, and am running a dual-head config (fglrx).
2. I copied the /home partition from an Ubuntu Hardy meets the creature from
Intrepid Alphas
onto this fresh Ubuntu 8.10 release install.
3. I don't much care about the guest stuff, but wanted to switch users.
That also
Deleting and re-adding the guest account did not help at all - immediate
crash again.
And, I probably screwed up the guest account permissions and/or
password, but too bad...

I want to say, that I have this Problem also after a fresh install of Intrepid.

This was fixed by deleting the Guest account I created manually in
Hardy, but this is the output of the command you suggested:
+ USER=guest
+ PWSTAT=
+ adduser --system --no-create-home --home / --gecos Guest --group --shell
/bin/bash guest
Adding system user `guest' (UID 115) ...
Adding new
Can you please open a terminal and copypaste the output of
sudo sh -ex /usr/share/gdm/guest-session/guest-session-setup.sh
Thanks!
