After GDM lock screen, log into a different session

I think the following problem is caused by GDM, as it does not occur when using LightDM. Unfortunately I have found nothing interesting in log-files or on the internet, so I post it here, hoping someone can give a direction to solve it.
After running Gnome3(.16.2) for a while I get a lock-screen and a login screen. This is not the same lock screen as I have told Gnome to use whenever I would like to have the computer locked. The screen resolution is the same as that of the 'normal' login screen at boot, but not the same as the resolution I use on the desktop.
Logging in results in a new session on CTRL-ALT F4, leaving my original session on CTRL-ALT F2 (??), but without the mouse-cursor.
I have the lock-screen disabled, and running LightDM it does not show unless I explicitly tell it to.
The only desktop programs I use are MonoDevelop, Spyder3 and Firefox. I run Arch in a VMware-Fusion Guest for development purposes. I installed Open-vm-tools.
Running LightDM I am a happy user, but it nags me GDM cocks-up. Anyone a clue what I could research?
Kind regards,
Martin

Rotation lock is now a software function on the taskbar in 4.2 and the button now mutes notifications e.g. so that you can watch videos or listen to music without hearing email notifications etc.
Rotation lock : double-click the home button, slide from the left, and its the button far right; press home again to exit the taskbar; repeat to switch off rotation lock.

  • If I buy an in app purchase with iTunes account "B" on my ipad, while logged into a different gamecenter, will it show up on Apple ID "A" email?

    If I buy an in app purchase with iTunes account "B" on my ipad, while logged into a different gamecenter, will it show up on Apple ID "A" email? I am trying to buy an in app purchase for Clash Of The Clans. My gamecenter is associated with Apple Account "A", but if I purchase the in app purchase under Apple Account "B", will it show up in Apple Account "A" email, due to it being associated via gamecenter? Please reply!

    No. An in-app purchase can only be made through the same iTunes Store account that the game was originally purchased through and will be linked only to that account. Receipts will be mailed only to the email address associated with that Apple ID. What Game Center account the game is linked to will be, to the best of my knowledge, irrelevant.

    It depends on what you mean. If you mean that you changed the iCloud account to which Find My iPod is set up in the Mail, Contacts, Calendars settings, then the iPod will only be trackable through that iCloud account, not any previous one.
    If that's not what you meant, please post back and clarify.

  • Lion Lock Screen Logs me Out

    In Snow Leopard, invoking the screen saver when the Security pref panel "Require password after sleep" was checked worked the way you would expect: when the screen saver was cancelled via a mouse or keyboard event, a dialog asked for a password, and then you were back in.
    In Lion, I am logged out when I move the mouse, and booted out to the log in screen. I have to wait while (a) I'm logged out; which takes five or ten seconds; and then (b) of course I have to log back in, which probably takes a minute to restore all the apps. This just seems wrong. It's also at odds with what I've seen reported, for instance in the Ars Technica review. I've never seen that little floating lock screen dialog. How can I get that instead of the heavyweight and time consuming log out behaviour?

    Do the log files in Console provide any clues?

  • How can I log into two differant accounts at the same time in two windows without the second window affecting the first.

    I'm trying to log into two facebook accounts at the same time in differant windows. When ever I log into the second account in the second window it changes the login in the first window. When I hit home or any other link the first window account has been logged out and logged into the second window account. I tried installing a second copy of firefox in a differant folder that the first but it seems to use all the files of the first installation. If I can get 2 toatally seperated instalations that don't rely on the same history, cookies, cache, etc I belive that will solve my problem. Please help.

    Nah, that won't work. Facebook has a feature that gets your IP Address, so as soon as you sign into one on the same computer, it changes the other login for safety purposes (say, someone was on a public library PC. They forgot to log out. Someone else logs in, and it automatically logs them out). You'll need 2 computers to do that.

  • Logging into a different account to buy apps from the iphonel

    I just got the 3G and wanted to start buying apps right from the iPhone but I saw that I was logged into someone elses account somehow. So when I go to buy it just asks me for their passsword and I can't find a place to log them out and put in my email. Does anyone know how to do this? I'm sure I could do it somewhere on my computer if I synced up but my computer is broken currently so I was looking for a way to do it right on the iPhone.

    Under menu item 'Store' there is a 'Sign Out' option. Sign out and then sign in with your info. Don't forget to sign out after you finish if not your 'home' computer.

  • GDM Lock Screen

    Hi everyone!
    I'd like to know why my lock screen gets instantly black after lock?
    I have to move the mouse to display the time. Is there a way to change that?
    After many time spent on google I can't figure this out.
    Thanks.

  • Album artwork/title on lock screen incorrect when playing different albums

    Does anyone else experience this? When I double click on the HOME button on the lock screen, the album artwork does display, but it displays the wrong album, title etc. The forward, reverse and pause buttons work correctly, but the artwork never changes. It currently displays an album that I haven't listened to for months.
    Any ideas on this?
    Thanks for any input.

    Thanks for the idea, restarting worked a treat. This has boggled me for ages, especially since the problem would come and go (now I know it would go after I let my phone die) but never put 2 and 2 together.
    My guess is there is a temporary cache in the iPod module (cause it happens on touch and nano swell apparently) that doesn't always get flush on a sync, but goes away with power off. Strange that it's still happens with 4.3.3. Guess apple have more important hiccups to worry about. (can anyone say GPS cache)

  • Why does my lock screen settings page look different?

    I just got my S4 mini and I am trying to set up lock screen widgets but according to all the tutorials, my options under Settings > Lock Screen looks different. I do not have the "Multiple Widgets" option. I DO have the "Favorite Apps or Camera" option that needs to be switched on or off, BUT it's grayed out! I just did the updates so that can't be it. What do I do??

    The options are dependent/limited based on which lock screen you choose.  For example, if you choose a lock screen of Swipe, you'll see a choice for the Multiple Widgets that you were originally asking about.  If you choose a lock screen of Pattern or PIN, the Multiple Widget option (along with several others) isn't available with those particular lock screens.

  • How do I stop firefox from opening a seperate window whenever I click on a link to log into a different website with my social network account?

    Whenever I try to log into a website (i.e. King of the Web.com,etc.) with my facebook account, a new window will appear behind my current window and when I click on it, it never shows up even when I minimize the current website, how do I get the new window to show so I can log in and vote for Tre Melvin? (P.S. vote for Tre!)

    I think Facebook uses its facebook.net domain for this function. When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    1. Clear Firefox's Cache
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
    2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
    Right-click this page and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the search box at the top of that dialog, change the domain to facebook.net and remove the site's cookies.
    Then try using the login with FB feature again. Does it work?

  • Need to Log into two different screens on bootup?

    Since resinstalling Mac OS X Mountain Lion on my 2012 13'' Macbook Air, I have to log in twice. While setting up it made me create a new password before it would wipe the disk and let me continue. So now I have to log in twice booting up my macbook air. I'm totally lost. The 1st screen is gray and has a circle with an outline of someones head with a question mark and says "update needed". As far as I can tell I have kept up on updates and kept updating until it said no updates available. After I get past that screen with the password, I have another screen with the selected picture of a macaw that I normally log in with. This has my "OLD" password. Would this all be because of FileVault?

    Hi, have you found any resolution to this? I suddenly have found myself with the same problem. Thanks in advance!

  • How do I sign out of an Apple ID/iCloud account on my iPhone in order to log into a different account?

    I signed into one of my family members iCloud accounts because I forgot my own, but now that I figured mine out I need to log out of theirs and into mine. How do I do that?

    Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom and tap Delete Account.  This will not delete data on icloud, it only disconnects the device from icloud.  Then log back in using the desired ID.

  • After itunes update, cannot log into store with apple id

    I have logged out of my apple id and verified that I have the right password. When I log back into Itunes store from my macbook pro, it tells me I need to verify my billing info and asks for my apple id and password again. I enter it and it just circles around and asks for my username and password again. Its just a loop. What do I need to do?

    Hi Neil,
    Thank you for the quick response, do you work at Apple? Is there a way for one to confirm when a problem like this is related to a down system at Apple in the future, other than posting on the forums?
    Thanks again.
