| howudodat | I have a problem that is going to be the death of me :). Converted the wife and kids desktop to ubuntu 16.04 and gnome 3.20. I cant figure out how to set up a "reliable" multi user setup. All the accounts are setup. GDM fires up and then the nightmare begins. First problem is how to switch users without logging out? Next problem, I installed fast user switch widget, and updated the metadata so it runs on 3.20. That works | 14:23 |
| howudodat | about 20% of the time. Sometimes it switches to a black screen. Sometimes it switches to the user greeter, sometimes it does nothing. I did a google search and a lot of the information I found was for much older versions of gnome ~3.6. I dont necessarily want to do VT switching and have them log in using VT1/2 and switch with CTR-ALT-F#. | 14:23 |
| jbicha | howudodat: that's a good question | 15:33 |
| jbicha | you can lock the screen either with Windows+L or by clicking the lock button in the menu in the top right of the screen | 15:34 |
| jbicha | and on the unlock screen you can click Log in as another user | 15:35 |
| howudodat | jbicha: when I do that and I click on the "Logon as another user" it simply re-activates the curtain. When I hit enter, I get back to the greeter. Click on "Logon as another user" back to curtain. wash->rinse-repeat | 15:36 |
| howudodat | works about 10% of the time or less. When it works, I am presented with a list of the 3 users, and I can switch. But mostly it does the curtain lock, repeat loop I described above | 15:37 |
| jbicha | hmm, it works for me | 15:40 |
| howudodat | just did some typical windows style testing (involving multiple reboots) it appears to work after a reboot for random N times. then goes into la la land. | 15:51 |
| howudodat | ok, so it appears that when it goes bad, parts of gnome-session are die-ing. here are the errors I get | 16:09 |
| howudodat | gnome-session-binary[7800]: WARNING: Could not get session id for session. Check that logind is properly installed and pam_systemd is getting used at login. | 16:10 |
