Public bug reported: I've just upgraded my machine to Jaunty (from Hardy) and have started experiencing X crashes. It's hard to describe exactly what the problem is, as it appears to be random. As an example, I might simply hit ctrl-D inside a terminal window to close it, and X might or might not crash. When it does, KDM restarts it and logs me back in. The only 'visible' applications running last time were Firefox and Kmail, along with all the little system daemons/utilities that go along with KDE.
I am using a customized kernel (2.6.28.5) with the official nVidia driver (180.29) from their site, on a dual-screen Xinerama setup driven by a single GeForce 6800. I tried re-compiling and re-installing both kernel and driver, but that was no help (my TV capture card requires the v4l-dvb repository, hence the need for the customized kernel and official nVidia package). I am using the KDE3-remix of Jaunty via packages fetched by apt-get, from the http://apt.pearsoncomputing.net/ repository, but I am not sure which version of X I am using... Maybe this is relevant: vane...@rainbird:~$ apt-cache policy xserver-xorg xserver-xorg: Installed: 1:7.4~5ubuntu18 Candidate: 1:7.4~5ubuntu18 Version table: *** 1:7.4~5ubuntu18 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- X crashes randomly (e.g. closing a window) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/368346 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
