2008-11-17 10:50:28 snowdays description Binary package hint: gdm-guest-session I just experienced a problem with the guest session: After the second time I launched the guest session, I wanted to switch back to my normal user. The guest session disappeared, but the screen stayed black, I could only see my mouse. The password dialogue for my normal user did not appear. Switching to tty worked kind of, but sometimes I hat to switch forth and back to get a visible tty. Killing X with strg + alt + backspace made x restart (heard the login sound), but still, I only saw my mouse. I am on Intrepid Beta (amd64) with all updates applied, my graphics driver is the xserver-xorg-video-radeon :6.9.0+git20081003.f9826a56-0ubuntu2, gdm-guest session 0.4. Right now, after reboot, I cannot reproduce the bug, though I did not change/update anything. Attaching my Xorg logs.

2009-01-15 10:16:08 Bryce Harrington xserver-xorg-video-ati: statusexplanation radeontool in Jaunty* can be used to assist in debugging this issue. After installing it, you run it like this: radeontool regmatch '*' > regdump_good.txt radeontool regmatch '*' > regdump_broke.txt Run it two times. Once when you have a working screen (for any driver), and once in the broken case (either from the tty console or logged into the sick box remotely). Attach both of those to this bug report, and we can then forward this issue upstream. Thanks ahead of time! [* Note: radeontool is available in earlier versions of Ubuntu but is too old; if you need to run it on an older version of Ubuntu, you can obtain and build it from the upstream git tree at http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~airlied/radeontool/]
