I tried disabling compiz and enabling compiz. Crash still occurred with no report. I then tried on a third system with an nvidia graphics card using the 96.* drivers, firefox did not crash in that setup.
Then I tried uninstalling the nVidia drivers and the crash stopped happening (on both systems that were crashing). The crash must due to the Nvidia drivers, but I still can't explain why firefox is the only application that is triggering the crash. I am marking the gdm bug as invalid. Please advise on how we can get backtraces or crash reports through apport. I do get a /var/crash/.lock file but nothing else. ** Summary changed: - segfault in Xorg, gdm, compiz on scroll with firefox/webmail + X/GDM crash (segfault) by firefox using nVidia 169.12 drivers ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- X/GDM crash (segfault) by firefox using nVidia 169.12 drivers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/224966 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
