praepoke, as per http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product- support/product/optiplex-9020-desktop/drivers/advanced an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (A13). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it address the issue?
If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. Also, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New. Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-a13 ** Description changed: Xorg crashes randomly since 15.10 upgrade - ProblemType: Bug - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.10 - Package: xorg 1:7.7+7ubuntu4 - ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.2.0-18.22-generic 4.2.3 - Uname: Linux 4.2.0-18-generic x86_64 - ApportVersion: 2.19.1-0ubuntu4 - Architecture: amd64 - CurrentDesktop: XFCE - Date: Thu Nov 12 18:57:00 2015 - SourcePackage: xorg - Symptom: display - Title: Xorg crash - UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to wily on 2015-11-06 (6 days ago) - --- - ApportVersion: 2.19.1-0ubuntu4 - Architecture: amd64 - CurrentDesktop: XFCE - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.10 - Package: xorg 1:7.7+7ubuntu4 - PackageArchitecture: amd64 - ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.2.0-18.22-generic 4.2.3 - Tags: wily - Uname: Linux 4.2.0-18-generic x86_64 - UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to wily on 2015-11-06 (10 days ago) - UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo - _MarkForUpload: True - --- + --- ApportVersion: 2.19.1-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 BootLog: - fsck from util-linux 2.26.2 - /dev/sda1: clean, 1435509/9519104 files, 28231394/38046976 blocks - [[0m[31m* [0m] (1 of 5) A start job is running for Wait for all "auto" /etc/network/interfaces to be up for network-online.target (59s / 2min 9s) + fsck from util-linux 2.26.2 + /dev/sda1: clean, 1435509/9519104 files, 28231394/38046976 blocks + [[0m[31m* [0m] (1 of 5) A start job is running for Wait for all "auto" /etc/network/interfaces to be up for network-online.target (59s / 2min 9s) [K[[32m OK [0m] Started Detect the available GPUs and deal with any system changes. - Starting Light Display Manager... + Starting Light Display Manager...
