Title:
xorg crashing on 12.04 - intergrated intel graphics
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I recently upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 and have been having an issue with
xorg chrashing and logging me out randomly. It seems very similar to an oft
reported issue involving nvidia drivers, but my netbook (Gateway LT2030u) does
not have nvidia graphics. Instead it has integrated intel graphics. generally
what happens is everytime i log in and randomly there after I get an
errormessage that pops up and says "A system program has encountered an error"
(or something similar) and asks me if I would like to report the problem or
cancel. I have not been able to actually get it to send an error report
successfully, but looking tht the error details I can tell it is an Xorg crash.
After I close that dialogue box everything seems to work fine until some random
point later where I either get the same error again or I get kicked back to the
log-in screen. I get the error maybe 5-7 times per day and the log-out maybe
3-5 times per day. all of the other threads I have seen regarding this issue
center aroung nvidia hardware that I do not have. I did see one forum thread
where someone else was having this issue with a netbook and they solved it by
deleting the .XAuthority file in /home/. I tried this, but it made no
difference.
I have attached the .xsession-errors file from my home dir, my current
Xorg.log and the crash report file in /var/crash/. If there are any other files
or info I could provide that would help let me know. Otherwise I really like
12.04 and would like to avoid the hassle of performing a fresh install of 11.10.
thanks.
