[Bug 657963] Re: skype (and others) cause complete crash of xorg on startup/IO activity

 

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 657966 ***
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/657966

** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xorg
  
  Starting skype from the command-line causes Xorg to immediately crash &
  exit on this machine. In more detail, it seems like any GUI IO on the
  skype application is actually what causes the crash, as it is sometimes
  possible for gnome-session to start the app at login time, and the
  status bar icon shows the successful connection attempts; however moving
  the mouse pointer over that icon (this should generate a popup
  notification from the app) causes a crash.
  
  When starting from the command-line the new window is focused, which
  seems to be enough to trigger the crash.
  
  This is not skype-specific, I noticed similar behaviour from Opera (but
  have not experimented with reproducing this yet).
  
  apport didn't seem to record skype as a problem application, so I've
  attached a gdb session of Xorg.
