Public bug reported:
I have encountered a very strange problem, which I'm not sure where to
file exactly.
The problem manifests on Dell notebooks (Latitude E6520 or E6510). They
are using NVIDIA NVS3100m or 4200m video cards.
The problem itself is that most of the time the flash plugin crashes.
Not so often, the whole firefox session crashes. Sometimes the whole X
session crashes. A few times, the X session also crashed while starting
Libre Office Calc.
Now, when it happens: it happens when using Ubuntu 10.10 or newer, or
when using Ubuntu 10.04 with a newer kernel (2.6.35, or 2.6.38). It
happens with any flash version, any firefox version, any NVidia drivers
version (including the newest 280 one). I haven't tried different Libre
Office versions, but this is not so relevant, as it doesn't happen so
often. Most probably, the problem lies somewhere between the linux
kernel, the X server and the NVidia driver, in some drawing operations.
The system is 100% stable when using 10.04 with kernel 2.6.32 (but then
I have to compile some e1000e drivers by hand, and bluetooth is not 100%
working on this hardware).
I am not sure what kind of data to further collect, but I will provide
whatever you need in order to identify and fix the bug.
