No longer seems to be happening with acroread 9.1.0-7jaunty2, and the same X server version. I am retaining a copy of the older acroread package so that I can reproduce this. I think a reproducible client- induced lockup in the Karmic-released X server is a serious bug which should be investigated, even if not triggered by current packages. I assume that Bryce Harrington was able to reproduce this too, so it's not just my hardware.
I'm not familiar with the X protocol or how one would go about getting a trace of what the application is doing to cause this. But I'm happy to put some time in to help isolate a simple test case, if someone with more knowledge of these things could give me some pointers on how to get started. -- X server locks up when Acrobat Reader is started https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/458306 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
