Unfortunately I hit the same issue. However, I am able to switch to the first desktop using Ctrl+Alt+F1 where I can unlock my previous section. I have the same issue on F16 64bit. Both fresh and with full updates. It happens more often when I attempt to switch from the screensaver password prompt than from the Status menu I'm also unable to switch users on F16 64bit with updates... Dunno if it matters, but it's a KDE session.. new development. changing from nouveau driver to nvidia's actually improved my experience drastically. it still occasionally locks when attempting to switch. it did it twice for my wife and none for me, but its only been a week since the switch. Family of three here, constantly switching users and getting this lockup. When I switch users, I get an empty login/user list. The options I've been taking is to 1) switch to a different console and "killall gnome-shell". If this works, I get a fully populated user list to select the user to switch to. 2) "killall gdm-binary" which will kill all sessions, but let me continue to login. If you can give me instructions to dump interesting configuration info, I'd be glad to follow them. Basically, F16 x86_64. Forgot to mention, if "killall gnome-shell" works and I can switch users, the system will present me with a new desktop as if I just logged in, but then the screen fades the screen locks immediately and I'm forced to login again. After that the system is stable for awhile until user switching happens again. This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
