[Bug 771837] Re: xorg died (gracefully to login) but without ado

 

Hi PresuntoRJ, of course you're not expected to know such details.  ;-)

The 'xorg' package is a general inbox, and bugbot takes care of figuring
out your video driver, symptoms, and so on, and moves the bug to the
right location.

Your system appears to be encountering a segmentation fault in the X
server, resulting in it crashing.  gdm restarts an X session which is
why you're returned to the login screen each time.

The "out of the blue" nature of it is troubling.  X segmentation faults
are pretty rare and tend to occur only under specific circumstances.  So
there are *usually* steps to reproduce them.  When there isn't, I start
suspecting hardware faults such as bad memory chips.  But let's assume
it to be a software bug in X first.

Can you collect a full backtrace?  This will help tell me where in the
code exactly that the crash is happening.  Directions for doing this are
at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing

** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu)
