[Bug 666601] Re: Xorg does not dump core (via file nor Apport) on crash
Thanks for that, Gustavo. I would just add two things to your instructions: 1. "ulimit -c unlimited" at some point, so that ulimit doesn't prevent a core file from being generated; 2. Remember to specify the display, e.g. "DISPLAY=:0 gnome-session" :-) Even with all that, if Apport is enabled, you don't get a core dump. The only way you get a core is if Apport is disabled (i.e. core_pattern specifies a file instead of a pipe). Very odd. I finally got a core, force-fed it after-the-fact into Apport, and got bug #671293. -- Xorg does not dump core (via file nor Apport) on crash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/01 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

I have the same issue here. After trying everything I found a workaround: 1. Go to terminal #1 (Ctrl+Alt+F1): sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop sudo Xorg -nolisten tcp :0 2. Go to terminal #2 (Ctrl+Alt+F2): gnome-session Now you have an X session running. If Xorg crashes it will generate a core in the folder where it was started from. It makes things easier if you set the core name pattern. Before starting Xorg, as root: echo "core.%e.%t.%p" > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern No idea if this works with apport. I don't think this should be taken as a definitive solution. If you have an easier way to generate X core dumps please let me know. -- Xorg does not dump core (via file nor Apport) on crash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/01 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
