Reverse switch by clicking on ctrl + alt +f<Number>, but returning to first session and press control + c - session ends. Additional info: package version - gdm 3.34.0-2 first session - gnome wayland second session - gnome wayland In the attached file, a cut of the logs at the time when the bug occurred and in which gdm is mentioned. Steps to reproduce: Start the session of the first user, then click "switch user", start the session of another user, after 10-15 seconds the lock screen of the first user appears. |
This task depends upon
It now shows the unlock screen, so the user does seem to be logged in.
Trying to unlock does not work, I can however go back to the first user that logged in.
What's interesting: My old laptop has had the same issue since a recent update. I shrugged it off as old age or mis-configuration of the system, knowing that my new laptop would be arriving soon. But now that it's happening on a fresh install too, I think it's a proper bug.
I'm usually running Gnome on Xorg, but the issue seems to occur on Wayland as well.
It mentions this as upstream fix: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/merge_requests/86
I tried to build GDM from source to see if it solves the problem, but stopped when I ran into (probably unrelated) errors. Anyway, it looks like this will be fixed in the next release.
