By "crash" I mean that X (and all graphical applications) close and I am prompted to the "run Ubuntu in low-graphics mode (and other options)" window. When it happens, I'm still able to use ttys with Ctrl+Alt+F.. If I choose to run Ubuntu in low-graphics mode, it actually starts X in the same resolution as in the 'regular' mode (1280 x 800) but I don't have 3D acceleration any more. It doesn't crash in "low-graphics mode (at least it hasn't crashed since I started low graphics mode 4.5 hours ago). The OS was installed from an Ubuntu 9.10 CD to which I added KDE (apt-get install kubuntu-desktop) and then upgraded to Lucid on April 29 (apt-get dist-upgrade).
The latest apt-get upgrade before I had this bug was on 2010-05-26 (apt_history.log.txt attached). I upgraded the kernel from 2.6.32.21.22 to 2.6.32.22.23 yesterday (May 30) but it was*after* the bug appeared and did not change anything. I also tried to boot on a 2.6.34 kernel (which I compiled myself from kernel.org sources) but I still have the same bug so it does not seem to be directly related to the kernel. When I sent the bug report (and also now) I was running the distribution kernel (Linux 2.6.32-22-generic #33-Ubuntu), not the custom one. ** Attachment added: "/var/log/apt/history.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/49456007/apt_history.log.txt -- [i945gm] X crashes randomly (lucid) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/587708 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
