Hi friends,
For reasons too long/boring to explain here, I use LightDM’s dm-tool to handle user switching and screen locking. It works great…some times.
The rest of the times, it does this:
- user1 logs in and opens some application
- user1 runs dm-tool switch-to-greet or dm-tool lock from konsole (or shell script, same result)
- LightDM greeter is shown on screen with user1 in bold letters
- Unlock button is pressed with user1 selected
- screen flickers a couple of times
- LightDM greeter shows on screen with user1 in normal letters (no bold) and Login button (instead of Unlock)
- user1 session has been reset!!!
I could not figure out a pattern for this behaviour, so I would say it is ramdon.
What I can say is that, when testing, you don´t open apps (as in 1.) you have more chances of unlocking succesfully.
Logs and system info below.
Any help would be much appreciated.*
Thank you in advance.
Cheers!!!
*specially something that helps me undestand the logs…!
