Public bug reported: Every few hours the desktop freezes. I can still login via ssh, htop shows one process running at 100%. The process is shown in red, indicating a kernel thread. No response to ctrl-alt-f1 or to service lightdm restart.
Graphics card is NVIDIA NVS 310. I've tried the NVIDIA drivers in various versions up to nvidia-current, and also nouveau (current bug report is with logfiles etc generated after a crash while running nouveau). Xorg.log shows a seg fault: [171809.988] (EE) [171809.988] (EE) Backtrace: [171809.988] (EE) 0: /usr/bin/X (xorg_backtrace+0x48) [0x7fc8b9ccd848] [171809.988] (EE) 1: /usr/bin/X (0x7fc8b9b24000+0x1ad539) [0x7fc8b9cd1539] [171809.988] (EE) 2: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x7fc8b8c20000+0x10340) [0x7fc8b8c30340] [171809.988] (EE) 3: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x7fc8b763f000+0x97ff0) [0x7fc8b76d6ff0] [171809.988] (EE) 4: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libexa.so (0x7fc8b295f000+0x5356) [0x7fc8b2964356] [171809.988] (EE) 5: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libexa.so (0x7fc8b295f000+0x57fb) [0x7fc8b29647fb] [171809.988] (EE) 6: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libexa.so (0x7fc8b295f000+0x7e22) [0x7fc8b2966e22] [171809.988] (EE) 7: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libexa.so (0x7fc8b295f000+0x1186a) [0x7fc8b297086a] [171809.988] (EE) 8: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libexa.so (0x7fc8b295f000+0xe236) [0x7fc8b296d236] [171809.988] (EE) 9: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libexa.so (0x7fc8b295f000+0xc028) [0x7fc8b296b028] [171809.988] (EE) 10: /usr/bin/X (0x7fc8b9b24000+0x133f56) [0x7fc8b9c57f56] [171809.988] (EE) 11: /usr/bin/X (0x7fc8b9b24000+0x12a3fe) [0x7fc8b9c4e3fe] [171809.988] (EE) 12: /usr/bin/X (0x7fc8b9b24000+0x55f0e) [0x7fc8b9b79f0e] [171809.988] (EE) 13: /usr/bin/X (0x7fc8b9b24000+0x59d9a) [0x7fc8b9b7dd9a] [171809.988] (EE) 14: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0x7fc8b7660ec5] [171809.988] (EE) 15: /usr/bin/X (0x7fc8b9b24000+0x451ee) [0x7fc8b9b691ee] [171809.988] (EE) [171809.988] (EE) Segmentation fault at address 0x0 [171809.988] (EE) Fatal server error: [171809.988] (EE) Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault).
