Coredump from one such crash

Kactivitymanagerd dumps core when one tries to switch users.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Press the 'switch users' > 'start new session' from the lockscreen.
2. Log in to another user

Actual result: The new session opens in the same vt, and the old session dies.
Expected result: The old session should remain working even after switching users.

The coredump is provided as an attachment.

Do you have the process output?

> Do you have the process output?

Unfortunately, I'm not sure how I would get the output. Is the output logged somewhere?
Comment 4 Ivan Čukić 2017-09-04 10:52:46 UTC
Maybe you have it in ~/.xsession-errors

One thing I did not notice in the report - when you switch users, the old session is completely killed?
Comment 5 David Edmundson 2017-09-04 10:55:17 UTC
That's ~/.local/share/sddm/xorg-session.log now for some reason.
Comment 6 Kishore Gopalakrishnan 2017-09-04 11:35:08 UTC
I just tested, and switching users works now. Probably some update or the other contained a change that fixed this. I think you should mark this bug as resolved.
