2008-09-30 10:48:28 Vincenzo Ciancia description Binary package hint: gdm When I installed intrepid alpha 6, compiz was enabled by default and I could run a guest session. With recent updates (last update I think 29 september), if I launch a second session - e.g. using the guest menu entry, it does not start. If I disable desktop effects, then it works. However, if I start X using "X :1" from a console it of course works. I attach the X server logs, the output from "lspci -vvn", and the contents of /var/log/gdm.

2008-10-04 10:42:21 Vincenzo Ciancia compiz: statusexplanation The bug is again there, disabling compiz makes guest session work fine otherwise it won't start. Probably this problem comes up at random and is not 100% reproducible.

2008-10-20 12:54:12 Martin Pitt compiz: statusexplanation This is in essence a bug in the graphics driver. In fact I had the same problem earlier, but it was fixed with a compiz workaround. See bug 269509 for details. Can you please do "glxinfo > /tmp/primary.txt" in your normal working session, then start a guest session, let it settle for a minute or two, and then type blindly: * Alt-F2 * glxinfo > /tmp/guest.txt * Enter * Control-Alt-Backspace to kill the guest session Then please attach /tmp/primary.txt and /tmp/guest.txt here.
