Public bug reported: System: Ubuntu 14.04, running cinnamon, on a Dell M3800.
The bug happens randomly and logs off the user, who loses everything in the current session. It happens mostly when a new window is openned, especially terminals (but not only). > cat /proc/version_signature Ubuntu 3.16.0-41.57~14.04.1-generic 3.16.7-ckt11 The same happens with the latest 3.16.0-43 kernel.
