Title:
Ubuntu Lucid crashes with message "could not write bytes: broken pipe"
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When using Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 beta, downloaded April 6th 2010, it
crashes into an entirely black screen, with terminal text saying
"could not write bytes: broken pipe" about 8 or so times.
By all appearances, it happens at random intervals. I can not identify
any particular trigger. It has happened about four times in the two
days since I upgraded to the new beta.
After a period of time, the system gives me a dialogue box which
offers me the option of restarting X, using low graphics mode, or
other graphics display options. Whichever one I choose, the system
takes me back to a login screen, at full graphics colour and
resolution.
My computer is a Panasonic CF-Y2 laptop computer. It uses Nvidia
drivers for graphics.
Other than this randomly occurring crash, everything else seems to
work without any indication of a problem.
