GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 562128
Coming back to first user when logging out after having done a switch user
Last modified: 2013-11-18 14:53:11 UTC
After having done a switch user, worked a bit, then select logout, I should come back to a screen where I'm presented with a list of logged in users. At the moment, I come back to the user who logged in first (not even the screensaver is active) Other information: see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=309099
This is most likely a gdm bug. Re-assigning.
What version of GDM are you using? Run the following commands, one should work depending on which version of GDM you are using: gdmflexiserver --command=VERSION gdmflexiserver --version
Created attachment 160568 [details] [review] Restart transient displays after the user session ends This is because a transient display is never respawned, even though it needs to when a session was successfully initiated.
There was a similar problem with XDMCP sessions not starting after logout. See bug #606724. That issue was fixed a slightly different way. I wonder if these two bugs should be fixed with a single, more general solution?
Hello ! I have nearly the same unless that when I log out, I've black screen and nothing else. I've tried to do CTRL+ALT+F7 to come back in tty7, but It has not worked ! Any idea ? Sincerely, Gautier
i think switching back to the user that switch user was initiated on is actually not really wrong. At any rate, the screen should be locked, which it does with the current codebase. Closing, but reopen if you feel strongly.
