Maybe the bug has metamorphosed. At any rate, the following is similar, but I cannot work out the appropriate heading under which to report it - if you know, please redirect my report as appropriate.
I now have Xubuntu 8.04 (from the 24 April CD image) on the same machine. On several occasions "it" (probably the X server) has frozen. This collection of log files comes from the first such occasion. The update-manager was doing its stuff in the background (fixing the SSL vulnerability), although that hangs too, and I think I had XDVI running, maybe Firefox. I was mainly using Emacs22-gtk. I deleted a line in a file, the lines either side appeared superimposed, then the mouse cursor disappeared. I managed to login remotely using ssh. I found that the X server was taking 98% of the CPU, so I killed it, but it resurrected itself and again hogged the CPU. This happenned several times. However, I managed to save these files from /var/log. I have had two more similar experiences, without being about to save the logs. Similar reports on other Linux web sites have said that X hogs the CPU when there is a remote session, but that I cannot see how to do diagnosis without having a remote session. ** Attachment added: "/var/log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14570432/pt.xcrash.080515.var.log.tar.gz -- Gnome session restarts spontaneously https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145015 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
