I have very similar problem on Solaris with Radeon card and driver. I realize this bug is not for Solaris, but this is the only other reference I could find... and I am also a Ubuntu user ;)
I restarted my X session to open an xterm only. I was scared it could be a low-level driver bug but then, it worked. so its only gnome related. from that xterm, I could launch metacity and gnome-panel fine... but as soon as I try to launch gnome-session, X crashed. has the gnome team been advised for this bug? gnome version is 2.30.2 videocard is ATI, not nvidia -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/999191 Title: 10de:0421 X crashes with gnome-session: Fatal IO error 11 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/999191/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
