Logout does not work as expected

[Sergei Andreev]

Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace

Logout does not work as expected.
When I am performing "Logout" I'm getting to terminal with "Checking battery state" and there is no prompt shell.
Though Ctrl+Alt+Del works and first thing it does - stopping kdm.

I have desktop with kubuntu 9.04 AMD64 and ATI graphics with opensource driver and netbook Asus EEE PC 901 with kubuntu 9.04 i386 - same situation.

Could you please attach a copy of /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old after rebooting after attempting to switch users pleaase?
Thanks.

This logs are from my EEE PC

I have to install latest kernel and xorg bits to smoothly run kubuntu 9.04 on it.

My desktop based on more stable software but again same problem with logout and switching user.

[Sergei Andreev (seajey)]

Well, I was wrong a little - switching users works on my EEE PC
The problem is only with logout.

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

Ok, thanks. The problem seems to be that Xorg is crashing when you try to log out, meaning that you never reach KDM to log in again. This is most likely a video driver issue.

I should have mentioned this last post, but the X guys will want a copy of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and a copy of the output of the command lspci -vvnn.

my xorg.conf :

Section "Device"
 Identifier "Configured Video Device"
        Option "AccelMethod" "UXA"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
 Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
 Identifier "Default Screen"
 Monitor "Configured Monitor"
 Device "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

and i attach my lspci -vvnn output

[Sergei Andreev (seajey)]

It seems you was write.
Attaching log file from desktop.

And this is my xorg.conf (desktop)

Section "Monitor"
 Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
 Identifier "Default Screen"
 Monitor "Configured Monitor"
 Device "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

Section "Device"
 Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

Section "ServerFlags"
 Option "DontZap" "False"
EndSection

Using KDE 4.3.0 - still could not logout or switch user.

[Khairul Aizat Kamarudzzaman (fenris)]

this problem still occurs with KDE 4.3.0 and xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.8.0-0ubuntu2

[Khairul Aizat Kamarudzzaman (fenris)]

this problem still occurs with KDE 4.3.1 and xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.8.1-1ubuntu1, can someone put this as high importance plz ... maybe in alpha5 milestone

[Sergei Andreev (seajey)]

Same with KDE 4.3.1 and opensource ATI driver

[Khairul Aizat Kamarudzzaman (fenris)]

im still having this issues in karmic alpha6 :(

[Sergei Andreev (seajey)]

BTW, situation is better when instead of ati fgrlx is used - logout works properly, will check user switch.

[Sergei Andreev (seajey)]

Still can not switch users - activate button is not active and i can only unlock current logined user.

This bug report has been inactive for quite some time and in the meantime Ubuntu has moved along. I hope the reported problem has been resolved in the current version of Ubuntu. If it has not and there are people willing to follow up with information collecting and testing, it is best to file a new bug report with the latest Ubuntu development version (currently 10.04, but soon 10.10), using the ubuntu-bug command if possible. Feel free to mention the bug number of this bug.

We are sorry that we are not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. Occationally we have to purge old bug reports where no progress has been made, whether it is due to reporter not being able to respond or lack of manpower on the Ubuntu side, in order to keep our list of "active" bugs current. Sorry for the inconvenience this may cause.

Here are a few tips that will increase the chances that your bug gets priority:
* Read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Reporting
* Browse https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X and see if there is some relevant information for you problem
* Respond quickly to questions from triagers
* Try changing things to see if the behaviour changes, e.g.
  * A new mainline kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=M;O=D (more information at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/MainlineBuilds)
  * The xorg-edgers PPA: https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa
  * Various options in `/etc/X11/xorg.conf` (see `man intel`)
* Browse other bug reports to see if you find a similar one and provide the information that is being asked for there.
