** Package changed: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) => xorg-server
(Ubuntu)

** Description changed:

  Running "xauth generate" with a large timeout value (e.g., "xauth
  generate :0.0 . trusted timeout 99999999") causes the X server to crash
  with an assertion failure.  Immediately upon running the command, the X
  server crashes, and after a few seconds, the login screen appears.
  
  I have attached a full backtrace.  Xorg.0.log and dmesg don't contain
  any relevant data.
  
+ SecurityAuthorizationExpired: Assertion `pAuth->timer == timer' failed.
