@Patrik I bought a AMD based laptop for my mother and the LTS version was unable to run on it, it kept crashing, had display errors, the mouse did not work and many other problems. So I had no choice then to install 14.10 at that time. When the support ended I upgraded to 15.04 recently and then this bug started to surface.
In general I would expect canonical to improve their policy for backporting bugs. Really, how useful is a release (with supposed support), when bugs are not fixed and fixes only make it into the development version that is still weeks out until a release. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1443456 Title: Xorg crashed with SIGABRT in fbBltOne() Status in X.Org X server: Fix Released Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in xorg-server source package in Vivid: Confirmed Status in xorg-server source package in Wily: Fix Released Bug description: system restarts when trying to open libreoffice writer, just after the installation of the latest updates (after a fresh install) ProblemType: Crash DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.04 Package: xserver-xorg-core 2:1.17.1-0ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.19.0-13.13-generic 3.19.3 Uname: Linux 3.19.0-13-generic x86_64 .tmp.unity.support.test.0: ApportVersion: 2.17-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: compiz CompositorUnredirectDriverBlacklist: '(nouveau|Intel).*Mesa 8.0' CompositorUnredirectFSW: true CrashCounter: 1 Date: Mon Apr 13 16:32:19 2015 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: vivid DistroVariant: ubuntu ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/Xorg GraphicsCard: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
