Hello,
I hope someone can reproduce this one and can point me to some bug report.
I'm using the closed source Nvidia driver and a default Gnome installation.
Since the last update, the following happens:
Usually Gnome runs two X servers. One on ":0" and one on ":1". The last
one is the one, I actually use when I'm logged in. GDM keeps running on
:0 (VT1). So if I press Ctrl+Alt+F1, I get back to the login screen.
This exactly same configuration also applies to my laptop with an Intel
GPU. Here, I also have two X servers running all the time.
Since yesterday's update, after some time the first X server terminates
for whatever reason. In "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", I see:
[ 92.389] (II) systemd-logind: got resume for 13:64

[ 405.634] (II) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Deleting GPU-0
[ 405.857] (II) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file.
This wouldn't be a problem, as logging out restarts this X server
allowing me to log in again. The problem is, that this X server
termination switches the virtual terminal, so it brings me back to VT1
and I have to switch back to VT2 manually.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? One possible solution for a
(temporary) fix could be if there is any way to ask GDM somehow to
immediately terminate this X server on VT1 after logging in.
Thanks in advance
Manuel
