I'm building an image for testing of Bryce's fix. In the meanwhile, I did some quick testing using Mario's suggestions.
Like Robert did, I just let the Thinkpad X201 sit there while monitoring processes and Xorg.0.log. Sure enough, the panel process starts using up the CPU, going up to about 80%, and eventually exiting with status 1 (I attached gdb to it, it didn't segfault or anything). At around that time, the bo map errors start appearing in the log. I then started the install process, but quickly switched to a terminal and killed the panel process. This time the installation went on without a hitch. So if the panel is around, it eventually dies and usually takes Xorg with it. If the panel is killed the system can install and/or remain sitting there without problems. I was able to replicate this behavior on the Dell Vostro 3400, if left as-is the panel eventually crashes, if the panel is killed then it works OK. I'll update as soon as I have some more results. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/714829 Title: Xorg segfaults during LiveCD installation using preseed file _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
