[Bug 573957] [NEW] X server crashes randomly

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

After upgrade to Lucid, the X server started to crash, however I fail to
detect any pattern. It can occur only after hours of use or quite soon
after logging in, thus I guess it's pretty random.

After the crash, the screen blinks (with black screen and terminal
output) for a few times and then GDM restarts and I'm able to log back
in.

Please note that I'm not using a standard Ubuntu kernel due to a problem
I've had since Karmic: in that case, X wouldn't even start. However,
even with a modified kernel, I experienced no problems while using
Karmic.

A sample output of .xsession following the crash :

(gnome-terminal:1799): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_accel_map_unlock_path: assertion `entry != NULL && entry->lock_count > 0' failed
gnome-session[965]: WARNING: Detected that screensaver has left the bus
gnome-settings-daemon: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0.

gnome-power-manager: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0.
gnome-panel: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0.
The application 'gksu' lost its connection to the display :0.0;
most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed
the application.

Please ask if you need any further information.
