[Christopher Barrington-Leigh <cpblpublic@xxxxxxxxx>]

This stream of comments is difficult to follow. If one of the most
knowledgeable people could summarize where we are, it might be useful.
I am experiencing this problem also, on a Lenovo X230 under Ubuntu
15.10, since a month or so ago.

"sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" certainly is not a solution for me (indeed,
you might say that's what started the problem!), and I don't actually
think  Christopher M. Penalver was suggesting that as a fix.

This is certainly a "critical" problem, and most frustrating a
development for what was a stable machine.

As I understand it: it will still be useful if I do a "ubuntu-bug xorg"
after the next time it crashes, and after logging back in? (or from a
tty login, before logging back in?).  I have xdiagnose installed.

Title:
  lightdm crashes on window open in Ubuntu 15.10 intel

Status in Light Display Manager:
  Confirmed
Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Symptom: xorg crashes on windows creation

  How to reproduce: No 100% reproducibility, however intensively using
  2D/3D acceleration triggers the bug (e.g. by opening several new
  windows and/or menus in a Unity desktop environment)

  Affected hardware: Intel HD Graphics 4400/5000 etc
  Affected software:
  - kernel 4.2.0-16-generic #19-Ubuntu SMP Thu Oct 8 15:35:06 UTC 2015 x86_64
  - Ubuntu 15.10 with Unity (because of compiz 2D/3D acceleration)
  - any other software using direct rendering (e.g. VLC)

  Workaround:
  - Disable window animations in Compiz reduces the frequency of the crashes.
  Use compizconfig-settings-manager for this tweak (sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager)

  
  [original description below]

  I get crashes, when I open a new window in an already started
  application. It happens irregularely, but I can force the crash if I
  open several new message windows in thunderbird. But it also happens
  in other applilcations, for example a new terminal window.

  This is the output during the crash in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
