Btw, from the syslog output, there are some calls into glib routines, which lends weight to it being a gnome component failing, however a lot of the debug symbols appear to be missing. The call prior to the crash looks like an invalid pointer loose somewhere:
Nov 2 17:42:56 htpc gdm[2565]: #3 <signal handler called> Nov 2 17:42:56 htpc gdm[2565]: #4 0x00007fade9b1cdba in strchr () from /lib/libc.so.6 I think that's as deep as we can go with the information provided so far. What would really help would be to have a full backtrace - see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing for guidance. Although, I'm not 100% sure it is X that is crashing, since X does not use glib... so first I would suggest identifying exactly what is crashing, and then get a backtrace of that, and then refile this bug against that component so it can be further investigated. -- gdm chrashes on boot, karmic koala, nvidia driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/471282 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
