This system is running Lucid beta 1 with latest updates (so, up to RC). It has one main admin user and 3 other users, all using encrypted home directories. I created two extra test users, one with encrypted home and one without. I was able to reproduce this problem with any combination of users.
Steps to reproduce:
- Login as one user (A)
- Switch to user (B)
- Logout
Result: GDM / X crash - can't access console or zap X (X session kill shortcut Ctrl Alt Backspace is enabled).
This results in data loss for user (A). In my use case, at home, I often remain logged in when I am nearby the system, and my 2 daughter and wife login.
Switching back and forth from any user works, however as soon as one user logs out completely, it will crash the system as described above, requiring a restart (hard power-off, restart).
