I have a similar problem, and I'm sure that it's my Nvidia driver that interferes somehow. If I disable the Nvidia driver, then it works, but I like the Nvidia driver. Some people have been able to get it to work by reinstalling fast-user-switch applet, but I haven't had this luck trying that. <div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Nov 23, 2008 at 10:35 AM, Moritz Reiter <<a href="mailto:mo@schallstrom.com">mo@schallstrom.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hi list, I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 on my desktop computer and on my laptop. On the desktop computer the "Switch User" feature works like a charm, but on the laptop (Thinkpad X60s with Intel graphics chip) I always get stuck on a black screen with just the mouse curser after suspending the session of user A in order to log in as user B. I already searched launchpad for a bug report matching my problem without finding anything useful and I have no idea where to start tracking down the source of the problem. I would appreciate any hints (e.g. which log files should I examine?) or even some assistance in finding out where the problem comes from and how to fix it.
