Package: xorg Version: 1:7.4+4 Severity: critical Justification: causes serious data loss
My Xorg session crashes without prior notice, roughly during the first 15 Minutes of working. However, I can trigger a crash by typing dmesg -n 9 as non-root user, wich normally prints 'klogctl: Operation not permitted'. This instantly teminates my session. Such a crash seems to appear exactly once after a reboot. I.e., after a crash I log in again, and I can run dmesg without problems. I first noticed these problems after an update, see the excerpt from /var/log/aptitude: <<<<< Aptitude 0.4.11.11: log report Thu, Oct 1 2009 09:09:27 +0200 IMPORTANT: this log only lists intended actions; actions which fail due to dpkg problems may not be completed.
