Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
On VT switch sometimes the computer freezes / GFX dies. Happened 3-4 times so far during 3 months. Ubuntu 9.10, NVidia GeForce GTS 250, Quad Core, 64 bit. The main error message(s) Xorg[1662]: segfault at 8 ip 00007fa2aff0756f sp 00007fff1e5e1620 error 4 in nvidia_drv.so[7fa2afebd000+3ac000] 3: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nvidia_drv.so(_nv001652X+0x21) [0x7fc04f421851] *** Symptoms *** This time upon more testing I noticed that the computer was in fact running, but the GFX was dead. alt+ctrl+f1 throw me to VT1 where I was able to login as root, but all the time the monitor was showing blank screen. But the GFX card did detect I was in text-only mode, because in this mode it always has fans running at maximum speed (which itself is probably a bug in nvidia power saving, but that is another topic). So - it's more like the GFX output died in a way that I was not able to restore while trying (blindly) to killall -9 X nor /etc/init.d/gdm restart. At some point keyboard died (caps lock not reacting) but SysRq's seem to fix that. I have a feeling this *may* be related to RAM being full and computer swapping during switching (but perhaps totally not). *** Logs *** There are pulse audio errors always when this crash occurs, but they may be just related to the VT switch, not to the crash happening sometimes on VT switch, dunno.
