[Bug 471844] Re: X crash
** Description changed: ubuntu splash screen shows, goes dark, shows, goes dark, etc,... Over and over again. The only way I can get gdm up is to Fx to a different console and then back.

[Bug 471844] Re: X crash
Today, 12/10/2009, I updated my Karmic test system to the most recent versions of all software, including X and the kernel. During this process, I released all holds on the jaunty version of xserver-xorg- video-intel. I am sad to report that gdm remained in the restart loop (despite the fact that I thought I saw a changelog indicating that this problem was fixed). Once I broke out of the gdm service and started x from the console, x seemed to function okay, except that I'm still getting errors with the DRM device. These error persisted even after I added the xswat x updates to my software sources. For my main system, for now, I must remain with the hold, using the jaunty version of xserver-xorg-video-intel. Please let me know if I can provide further information. -- X crash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/471844 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

[Bug 471844] Re: X crash
For now, I have restored usability to my system by downgrading the xserver-xorg-video-intel package to a jaunty version. I used the following method: 1) Downloaded: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/27624866/xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.6.3-0ubuntu9.3_i386.deb 2) sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.6.3-0ubuntu9.3_i386.deb 3) sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-video-intel=2:2.6.3-0ubuntu9.3 4) echo "xserver-xorg-video-intel hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections 5) Verified hold by issuing: apt-get -s upgrade (Source: http://tech.akom.net/archives/45-Upgrading-to-Ubuntu-9.10 -Karmic-Koala-breaks-X-xorg-on-intel-driver-on-945G-chipset.html) I was able to re-enable gdm, my text consoles work now, the font corruption has gone away, the crashes from changing the desktop background are gone and the 10 second delays seen when switching between windows are gone. I still don't have dri, but I do have a usable desktop now. -- X crash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/471844 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
[Bug 471844] Re: X crash
Is there any further information I can provide to help with this process? Is something still missing? Is there any way to work around this by using the drivers from 8.04 rather than the new ones? My system is barely usable as a desktop as it stands (slow, unstable). I apologise if I seem impatient. I am new to the bug reporting process and I'm not yet familiar with how it works temporally.

[Bug 471844] Re: X crash
I also have an Xorg.0.log file from Ubuntu 8.04 running on the same hardware (linux partition #3), which seems to work a lot better (stable, fast, though compiz won't start). I don't know if a comparative analysis will help, but I've attached it just in case. ** Attachment added: "Ubuntu 8.04 Xorg.0.log on same hardware" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/35128820/Xorg.0.log -- X crash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/471844 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
[Bug 471844] Re: X crash
I'm not sure if this is related, but it might be. I decided to install 9.10 on another partition so that I had something to experiment with. During the installation process, once the live install cd starts, an Xorg crash is reported in the notification area. I recall this happening the first time I installed, but I didn't have a net connection at the time. In this case, it looks like apport is activated and it collects a great deal of information about the crash and my hardware. If that information is pertinent to this bug, you'll find it in bug #474904. I hope this helps. -- X crash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/471844 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
[Bug 471844] Re: X crash
Okay, I think I did it. I install these packages: sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-core-dbg sudo aptitude install libgl1-mesa-dri-dbg sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-video-intel-dbg sudo aptitude install libdrm-intel1-dbg Then I ran gdb as described, caused the session to crash by selecting "Change Desktop Background", and obtained the backtrace as posted in the attached file.

[Bug 471844] Re: X crash
Also, it appears I'm going to have to do the backtrace the hard way as I can't get the apport service to start on my machine. I also can't figure out why it won't start. There doesn't seem to be anything pertinent in the logs other than: Nov 4 13:02:30 exachron init: apport pre-start process (2168) terminated with status 1 Nov 4 13:02:30 exachron init: apport post-stop process (2169) terminated with status 1 -- X crash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/471844 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
[Bug 471844] Re: X crash
I've stopped gdm as advised above, though "/etc/init.d/gdm stop" advised me to use "stop gdm" instead. I've started X using startx from the console, which seems to work fine, but doesn't go through any of the xsplash stuff and doesn't crash. Should I be attempting to get a backtrace on starting gdm, or should I be getting a backtrace on making X crash by changing my desktop background? -- X crash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/471844 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
