GNOME 3.18 switch user issue fix
Hi everyone! It’s my first blog post here and i’m a little excited(i mean a lot LOL). I want to give a solution to an issue which i figured out how to solve in GNOME 3.18. The problem is, when i tried to switch user in GNOME, gdm was freezing and screen was turning into black so i couldn’t do anything and lose all my work. The only option was rebooting. If this affects you too, try the following solution.
- Open a terminal window and type
sudo nano /etc/gdm/custom.conf
You can change nano to your favorite text editor. It’s just the simplest one.
- Then enter your password and find
#WaylandEnable=false
line and uncomment the line. Then save your config file(CTRL+O
in nano) and everything is OK now!
Comment below if it helped to solve your issue or not. Cheers :)
