Public bug reported: I've seen a few reports, but more "hey, anyone...?" versus filing a bug, so I thought I'd do the latter. Delete if a duplicate.
New upgrade of Xubuntu from 15.04 to 15.10 on a Gigabyte system with Intel graphics. You can just be toddling along and BANG, you're back at the login prompt and all applications are closed - with obvious loss of data. I'm just looking at installing the Intel graphics drivers to see if that helps... there's nothing obvious in most log files, but syslog contains these lines: Dec 20 13:02:58 Castor whoopsie[678]: [13:02:58] Parsing /var/crash/_usr_bin_Xorg.0.crash.
