RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

> this should fix it

I can confirm the fix worked for me. The login screen always starts when I switch user or logout.

The only issue I have found is that sometimes when I unlock the user session the screen remains blank and I have to move mouse to wake up the screen.

okay thats probably an unrelated issue in mutter.  lets clone that for 7.7
Comment 2 Jonas Ådahl 2019-03-26 14:54:46 UTC 
I've been trying to reproduce this to no avail in a up to date 7.7 in a VM. Steps that have worked 10-20 times without any no-unblank issue:

1. Log in user A
2. Switch user via system menu
3. Login user B
4. Switch user via system menu
5. Goto 1.
Comment 3 Jonas Ådahl 2019-03-26 17:21:15 UTC 
Same applies using Ctrl-Alt-F#. While switching back and forth, it hasn't failed to unblank.
Comment 4 Jiri Koten 2019-03-28 13:12:57 UTC 
I can't reproduce in VM but I'm able to easily reproduce on my ThinkPad X1 Carbon 6th, but probably any laptop with intel GPU should be enough. I use Xorg and modesettings driver. After I unlock the user A, the screen remains blank.

Reproducer is the same as in c#2.

Comment 5 Jiri Koten 2019-03-28 13:14:28 UTC 
Tested with:

kernel-3.10.0-957.10.1.el7.x86_64
mutter-3.28.3-6.el7_6.x86_64
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.20.1-5.3.el7_6.x86_64
Comment 6 Jonas Ådahl 2019-04-12 14:00:11 UTC 
Reproduced on Fedora, and came up with something that should fix it. At least I couldn't reproduce after this, but then again it only reproduced some times without it.

Scratch build available here: https://brewweb.engineering.redhat.com/brew/taskinfo?taskID=21154835

Jiri, could you test it?
Comment 7 Jiri Koten 2019-04-15 15:06:32 UTC 
Didn't worked for me. I see cursor for a brief moment, but screen remains blank until I move mouse or use keyboard.
Comment 10 Jiri Koten 2019-06-14 11:17:21 UTC 
Verified on the latest Snapshot compose.
