i can confirm that this crash happens for me. i have a workaround that "works for me"
1. disable starting gdm in the /etc/rcX.d/ scripts 2. reboot 3. computer will start in text-mode 4. login as your user 5. after login, start X via the startx command this starts X and gnome but without gdm. for me this error happend when i was away from my computer so i am assuming when the screen saver starts. without gdm running, i can confirm that i left my computer and X didnt crash. -- X crashes gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/140554 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
