Hi list,
I have a favor to ask to those that are currently testing Gnome 3.14.
In gnome 3.12 I am having problems with user switching, which is quite important for me. In particular, I had this annoying bug [1] since I installed Gnome in this computer. When Xorg 1.16 came out, it broke completely the switch user functionality for me (it caused my system to hang, forcing me to send a SIGTERM with Alt+SysRq+e). For what it's worth, I created a /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config, but that did not solve the issue. At the time I didn't want to investigate the issue since I needed the system to Just Work(tm), and I simply downgraded Xorg. I'm still running with the old Xorg, but I know that I can't go on like this forever.
If anyone running Gnome 3.14 happened to test the switch user functionality, I would be interested to know: - if you are observing any problem switching user with Xorg 1.16, - if you are observing Bug #730360; to test, see [1]
Thanks in advance!
Lorenzo
Yes, it seems to still be broken in 3.14. I have had no issues without switching, but now that I tried it: - - The first time I "switched users" to myself, GNOME froze in the activities when I tried to open a terminal (because I had forgotten to give the new test user a password). I switched to a virtual console and did a reboot. - - The second time I clicked the "Switch User" button I wanted to check how many virtual terminals were open. It froze completely (except for standby nothing worked) when I switched terminals, although maybe that's because of the Intel driver. I did a non-clean poweroff. - - The third time I actually switched users. I could not switch back anymore from the log-in screen of the test user. When I tried the log-in-as-different-user button the screen was only gray with a pointer. I had to manually Ctrl+Alt+F2, which gave me the test user's log-in screen again. After repeating this for a while it froze and I rebooted. journalctl shows gdm-password repeatedly complaining that Sep 27 08:32:39 floriannotebook gdm-password][1433]: pam_unix(gdm-password:auth): conversation failed Sep 27 08:32:39 floriannotebook gdm-password][1433]: pam_unix(gdm-password:auth): auth could not identify password for [archie] Sep 27 08:32:39 floriannotebook gdm-password][1433]: gkr-pam: no password is available for user even though archie has a password; I also could log-in as archie. I did not see anything with shadow opacity in the journal though. So I think what you mean is still broken. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJUJl9SAAoJEMqreLELZNG3PHcP/jkzWN8NhbgWyZV4U8lQ875b pU/t/6tOE24CxVlG7CRYoO0Jtaj5UzYzWmIFSlU4MjcYrbiiT08jbYxwAF4R44DE H2JgEa8852RFEGTf/jDdk4mhDvZOyjowRyz88/7BZv2qoEdTjGiOGWPQMvepbter vYLINbNHGzyjO9i38JaMssqmnZJyt6+QV/RKV3isAGak6Iu5Cl9jOnpj/3Rmfgzs 7M+TOCHYL/VCPWdknKm5txlhvJ5wj0BMd1pqmBmlpDcw3Do1/wzXm75obJERoCPk cbhyW/EzYd9MqAy9oKHD5NjrQ+duhNeauxo0R4D7tRMS4/YHiKPaaealHu07vpH3 +svHHa03w1twICxh1IElci8JzSYzrUQF0OFnt9/aF3U6Nvm61KX/hdGeOc1ufkOF nOprEQGoTSPVrlQIQ639rX5VPJkfeo2xsJyZ/mIihrd4+5bkXt0FjHU3RPZoDTjA KURFOMwlIwFFoEG/Btp0XF21DDsfsBF9S479cytu0sFSCixY+YN/COkgH5MIIg+5 8+O55l6UOwHXrPc2rRGlc52FRHcXwRRy/Oj6OvbH9D6xcBbb7fr5Lbl4pY1xzioL OzfaW0bY+6Dbm3RFqQFHr8oey0R6CCVopB7448iSmCPOZiJ04oe5bklb5RR3ILVl a16i0ALEvW+4FJX84x63 =4ndI -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
