Package: gnome
Version: 1:3.4+7+deb7u1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
After allowing Software Updates to run on two different Debian 7.6 desktops
they both crash when I try to switch users or logout a user. A black screen
appears with no mouse pointer. Keyboard input has no effect, eg. Ctrl-Alt-Del.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
The only way to recover is to force shutdown by holding the power button.
Able to switch user only by restarting Debian or shutdown/startup.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Shutdown/restart brings Debian and Gnome Desktop back up, but does not fix
the logout/switch user problem.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Before most recent System Tools -> Software Updates (about 48 hours ago) I was
able to switch users or log out as expected. Thank you.
