Same problem here with a fresh installation of Lucid Lynx 10.04 final release: Motherboard -> Intel D850GB (Garibaldi) cpu -> Intel Pentium 4 - 2.0 GHz graphic card -> ATI Radeon 9250 128 MB DDR
problem: 1. logged in as admin user 2. try to switch to any other user by pressing "switch user" under the menu of the Indicator Applet Session 3. get a blank screen with no pointer. alt+f7 no effect, ctrl+alt+f7 no effect, ctrl+alt+f1/f2 etc sometimes got a console mode sometimes not. It seems a problem of memory: if I switch without any app opened everything can go right, but if I just open some firefox windows and an openoffice document and then try to switch sure I get the blank screen. I tried to use the User Switcher panel applet, instead of the Indicator Applet Session as suggested and it seems to go well with desktop effects turned off. However even in this case if I close all the user sessions through the User Switcher panel applet the gdm panel is no more shown and can only press ctrl+f1 login and write sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart to get it. Do you think this could be another bug to report? -- [RS480] black screen after a few user switches https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/546578 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
