[Bug 714829] Re: Xorg segfaults during LiveCD installation using preseed file

 

I'm building an image for testing of Bryce's fix. In the meanwhile, I
did some quick testing using Mario's suggestions.

Like Robert did, I just let the Thinkpad X201 sit there while monitoring
processes and Xorg.0.log. Sure enough, the panel process starts using up
the CPU, going up to about 80%, and eventually exiting with status 1 (I
attached gdb to it, it didn't segfault or anything). At around that
time, the bo map errors start appearing in the log.

I then started the install process, but quickly switched to a terminal
and killed the panel process. This time the installation went on without
a hitch.

So if the panel is around, it eventually dies and usually takes Xorg
with it. If the panel is killed the system can install and/or remain
sitting there without problems.

I was able to replicate this behavior on the Dell Vostro 3400, if left
as-is the panel eventually crashes, if the panel is killed then it works
OK.

I'll update as soon as I have some more results.
