Some more updates: - I suspected a broken CD drive to influence the behavior, disconnected the CD and again saw some crashes.
- I tried all 3 performance levels (see bug 526857 comment 5), X still crashes in all these configurations. - I observed one freeze (not crash) while logging into KDE, no mouse action at that time. (see above hypothesis about a connection between mouse activity and the bug). Because it was a hard freeze (not even sys- req emergency umount or emergency reboot worked), no traces of the problem could be found on the machine. ----------------------- Given the lack of activity in this report, let me ask whether there is any use in providing more info in this bug? I intentionally did not try any other versions of any software involved, because the infected machine could be a good testbed for future attempts to narrow down what exactly is broken here. However, I can't wait forever, since, as mentioned repeatedly, the machine is in this state unusable for any serious work. I will have to install a working OS on this machine soon. -- xorg crashes randomly with seg fault https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/620478 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
