[Bug 1531471] Re: Xorg suddenly closes

 

shemgp, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.

As per http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/Laptops-and-
netbooks/ThinkPad-X-Series-Tablet-
laptops/ThinkPad-X230-Tablet?linkTrack=Homepage:Body_Search%20Products
an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available
(2.63). If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible:
1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect):
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not.
3) Please mark this report Status Confirmed. If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Xorg suddenly closes

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Was just clicking around when the screen suddenly when black--went to
  the virtual terminal-- after a few seconds lightdm started back up.  I
  had to login and launch my apps again.  It happened a few times
  already.

  Looked at the logs and there's a backtrace in /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old.
  The new Xorg.0.log didn't have it.
