I use KDE 4.6.3 on a Fedora box and can switch users without trouble.
However, when I try to do the same with Kubuntu (also KDE 4.6.3), it
works fine until one of the users logs out. On the Fedora system, the
screen for the other user/s would be presented and it's all
hunky-dory. When we try the same with the Kubuntu installation, all X
stuff seems to stop on a blank screen. It's possible to log onto the
machine from somewhere else on the network, but it's not possible to
do anything with its own X display. It's also not possible to get to
a tty screen: keyboard and mouse are totally unresponsive.
It didn't bother me too much and it could be lived with, but I suspect
something X is screwed up and was wondering if anyone could tell if
that could be connected with this error I get when I try to start a
TigerVNC server with Xvnc :1
(EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of
/usr/src/tigervnc-1.0.1/unix/xorg.build/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so failed
(/usr/src/tigervnc-1.0.1/unix/xorg.build/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory)
(EE) GLX: could not load software renderer
There's no way I know of to work out how that message is produced let
alone have any idea how to deal with it.
My suspicion is that my difficulty getting the VNC server to start is
not so much to do with how vnc4server or whatever is installed but
something more fundamentally malfunctioning, whether a setting or a
hardware issue.
Both machines have Nvidia graphics cards, the Kubuntu one rather higher
end.
TIA
