Public bug reported: Recently, my the xserver on my system has started randomly crashing due to a segmentation fault. As far as I can tell, this segmentation fault occurs as a result of libglamoregl encountering a GL_OUT_OF_MEMORY error (see attached Xorg.log). I have had a hard time reproducing this bug reliably, but it mostly happens when I have been using Inkscape for a while.
This appears to be the same bug that has been reported here https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110500 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110714 In those bug reports, the usual recommendation is to switch from the -modesetting video driver to the -nouveau video driver. By default, Ubuntu is not configured in this way, so this bug probably needs to be addressed in some other way. My graphics card is listed as follows: *-display description: VGA compatible controller product: GK208B [GeForce GT 710] vendor: NVIDIA Corporation physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:65:00.0 version: a1 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom configuration: driver=nouveau latency=0 resources: irq:69 memory:d7000000-d7ffffff memory:c8000000-cfffffff memory:d0000000-d1ffffff ioport:b000(size=128) memory:d8000000-d807ffff Please let me know if you need any additional information.
