I am experiencing this issue since I upgraded to 13.10 from 13.04. No nVidia card but Intel: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0116] (rev 09)
The system does not hang. From my experience it just get stuck trying to open a new VT. It fails to switch to the Greeter and a black screen is shown, but you can go back to your previous VT (CTRL-ALT-F7) or to a new one (e.g. tty1). Versions: lightdm 1.8.4-0ubuntu1 amd64 kernel 3.11.0-14-generic All packages up-to-date as of 20131228.1000-UTC WORKAROUND: The problem solved after updating lightdm to version 1.8.5-0ubuntu1, available in saucy-proposed repository. After the lightdm upgrade I experience some performance issues related to plugin xfce4-xkb-plugin when switching between users. Seem to be resolved removing the plugin from all panels. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1247189 Title: [13.10] Ubuntu freezes completely when switching user To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1247189/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ 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
