[Bug 506510] Re: Xorg crashed with SIGSEGV in FatalError() when using guest session

 

This X crash is due to error messages being printed to the log file
after the log file has been closed.  This was being done in the signal
handler due to a Ubuntu patch.  I've corrected the patch to not print
these errors, which should eliminate this crash.

However, still whatever problem had caused the X error to begin with is
still there, and it is likely that X will still be failing, just without
crashing (or perhaps with a different kind of crash).  This crash is
hiding that information however.  So the good news is hopefully this
will unhide that information.  After updating to version
2:1.7.3.902-1ubuntu7 please re-test your original issue; if it still
occurs file a new bug.  Hopefully apport will provide better information
in this case now.
