switching user problem

[nljj]

Hi everyone i have been running 10.3 for several months with the root and 2 user profiles without any problems, until i added a 3rd profile and now when you switch user all you get is a blank green screen . you can use alt f7 to get you back into the profile you are were using but i cannot get into the other profiles without rebooting the system.

I would be grateful for any help

Have you tried to remove 3rd profile and create new one again?

[nljj]

ya i have tried that and the problems remains now with 2 user profiles and is still there when i create the 3 again. there is no problem when i log out and close 1 profile and start another , only when i try to switch user

Odd, How much memory do you have?

hi 256 meg , i know its a bit low but i didn't have the problem before the 3 rd profile and now its there with 2 or 3.. its not a problem rebooting , just not a good look when converting the family to linux

You need more memory. You don't have enough to run multiple instances. In fact it is barely enough for one.

You might try a lighter desktop.

that sounds good everything else in 10.3 works well , so i will get some more memory and see what happens

thanks for the help
