The white screen in my title is the well know "white screen of the death" beryl issue (ie you get a white screen and have to manually reboot Xserver) at least I thought it was well know because there are so many forum threads talking about it. So, as I told you, I can't point out exactly what caused this bug because I went back from lunch and the laptop was plain crashed and then it outputed this bug report and forwarded me on this page where I opened a bug and attached the bug report. So actually to reply accurately to your question: - What exactly has happened? the white screen of the death - What does the white screen in your title have to do with the crash report? The white screen was the symptom and hopefully the bug report will give the cause... -- White screen, unknown cause https://launchpad.net/bugs/88017 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
