I could not reproduce that bug using the live CD for 1 hour. Given that I'm not using unity, given that the bug happens in a way that is very unpredictable (sometimes 2-3 times in a row in 10 minutes, then nothing for several days), this does not mean that this bug is fixed. I'm not even sure that the live CD uses the same driver (intel_drv) which seems responsible for the crash.
That bug happened to me once again 1 hour ago (exact same callstack). Being myself a developer, I can if you indicate me how, install debug symbols for that module (does this exist?) and give you more info. From my experience, a bug like this seems to depend on some unitialized variable which value depends on what's in the graphics memory at the time of use. Is there a way not to use intel_drv? thx for the help -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1472471 Title: XServer crash logs the user off randomly Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: System: Ubuntu 14.04, running cinnamon, on a Dell M3800.
