Public bug reported: I installed 12.04 a few weeks ago without problems. About two days ago (2012-06-08), I started experiencing crashes almost every time I would click a URL in an email in Thunderbird (thus invoking Firefox). The desktop instantly kicks me back to the login screen without warning, all programs are closed, and I lose all of my work. This has been happening once or twice *every hour* and always when I click a URL in Thunderbird.
Sometimese instead of crashing to login, the screen freezes and I have to power cycle it. (ctrl+alt+f* don't work.) I've read that these kinds of crashes are often related to Xorg, but nothing in my /var/log/Xorg.0.log suggests a seg fault or other error. I don't know where else to look. I'm on a Dell laptop running fglrx with a stock 12.04 install. Needless to say it's extremely frustrating, happens very often (many times per day), and only started happening recently (my workflow has not changed). ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1011027 Title: Desktop crashes to login screen when opening links in Thunderbird To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1011027/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
