Logout when switching user - X server error

Bug #663159 reported by Colin Law on 2010-10-19

Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

Ubuntu desktop 10.04 all up to date.
Login as user A, switch to user B. Switch back to user A causes user A to be logged out and the login screen is shown.
In xorg.0.log.old I see

(II) AIGLX: Suspending AIGLX clients for VT switch
(II) Open ACPI successful (/var/run/acpid.socket)
(II) AIGLX: Resuming AIGLX clients after VT switch
(II) intel(0): No memory allocations

Fatal server error:
Failed to submit batchbuffer: Bad file descriptor

May related to bug #576336 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/576336) as I also get a crash when closing VT after ctl-alt-f1, though I have not managed to see the above error in that situation.

I can now confirm that I can also replicate fully bug #576336 with the same error in xorg.0.log.old so I guess this may be a duplicate of that bug. Would it be right to mark it as a duplicate when the user experience (switch user rather than VT) is completely different?

Further information. I only see this problem if I am operating in dual monitor mode. If I run with just one monitor all is well. The same applies to bug #576336 for me.

This bug appears to have been fixed, for me anyway. I don't know which update fixed it, assuming it was an update rather than some configuration change I made. Bug #576336 has also gone.

I can confirm the issue on my setup with the latest Ubuntu 10.10. Usually I see this when a PC was suspened/awaken.

I upgraded my system to 10.10, and am still experiencing the bug. See comment #7 for more details on my system.

I should also note:
- I am running a Virtualbox instance of Ubuntu 10.04 on one of the logins.
- I am using the current NVidia driver

Colin Law, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xorg-server REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given you already have done this in a prior release, performing this on a release prior to Trusty would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.
