I have just installed Mountain Lion. In 30 minutes of using it, I have been logged out to the login screen roughly 12 times. All at completly random times. This is very vexing as this will make a completely unworkable environment.
Is anyone having the similar problem!? What could the issue be?
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7)
Thank you for that post! Well phrased - hopefully those coming here will understand what the original problem is and will keep on topic. Here's to hoping that 10.8.2 fixes our problems - I miss using my third monitor!
I upgraded to 10.8.2 and, tentatively, it looks like that's solved the problem. Let's hope this holds up over more extensive testing!
Upgraded to 10.8.2 as well. I setup/turned on my spaces again and so far it seems fixed. Before I would have been logged out pretty quick. This is with 2 video cards and three monitors.
Over the last few weeks I've also had a few hard crashes / full restarts on the same machine. Hopefully that's fixed too, however it mayb not be related to primary issue in this thread.
Fingers crossed.
Ok, upgraded to 10.8.2. Hooked up my 3rd monitor and will try it today... very hopeful! Let's keep each other informed!
I have a MacPro and one graphics card, with 2 monitors on same card. I upgraded to 10.8.2 and I still have the problem :-( When I login and start to use spaces, suddenly the screen goes blank and I am logged off. The only way to get back is to power off, remove one of the monitors and power on again. It seems the 10.8.2 update didn't change anything for me...
Upgraded to 10.8.2 ...... aaaaaand it didn't help !!! Merely a few hours later I experienced the windowserver crash with consequent auto logging out process. A real PAIN !!! Btw on my attached monitors(3), I can only see my foto's in iPhoto as thumbnails, they wopn't enlarge. If however I drag the iPhoto screen to my laptop screen, this works flawlessly. Does anybody els have this bug too ??
Apple FIx this !!!! FAST !!!
In the days of Steve this wouldn't happen or at least take this long ....
Getting really frustrated..... This is like a windows experience .....

Sorry to hear that it didn't help you. I also had this problem, and I gave some traces to Apple when they called me about it. This update helped me, i haven't seen any logouts since I upgraded.
I am happy to say that 10.8.2 did seem to resolve the problem for me. It's been a few hours without issue. On earlier versions the problem would have happened several times within a couple minutes.
Crossing my fingers that this really did solve the problem.
-J-
Went all day with no random log outs on 10.8.2 (with my 3rd monitor hooked up) and using spaces in my workflow! Amen!
Looks like we have mixed results with 10.8.2???? = /
Yep. Sadly, 10.8.2 did not resolve my issue. If I leave iTunes full-screen in another space, put my MacBook Pro Retina to sleep, and then wake it, I get the hard log-out problem about once every ten times. If I don't leave any apps in full screen mode, I don't get the hard log-outs.
Is anyone else *not* experiencing a similar issue after upgrading to 10.8.2 on a MacBook Pro Retina?
Does anyone have a support contact at Apple? I'd love to provide some sort of crash report so that they can get it fixed soon.
@guywithabike- you have different problem all together. Most of the people in this thread are having issues with multiple graphics cards on Mac Pro towers. Sorry to hear you are still having issues.
What is the results for people with multiple graphics card issues??? Yay or nay on the upgrade?
The MacBook Pros (Retina and non-Retina) all have two graphics cards -- one discreete and one integrated.
Interesting... most of us on the thread had determined the problem was due to MULTIPLE monitors on MULTIPLE cards. It would appear your issue may be similar but not exactly the same as what the majority of us are facing.
Well, for the record my posts are in response to yours, BleedingStar. Good results here on my dual card Mac Pro.
Mountain Lion keeps logging user out...
