Xorg crashed with SIGABRT in raise()

[Per-Inge]

I changed Nvidia driver by use of Software Sources from 310.14 to 310.19, nvidia-exprimental-310 to nvidia-310 updates.
I expeted the message that a reboot was required. I didn't got that message. Instead I logged out and the crash happend.

After I turned off the computer, it booted OK at power on.

you didn't have a kernel module built for the nvidia driver, but now you seem to have it.. closing

[Per-Inge (per-inge-hallin)]

Nvidia 310.14 was in use and then I changed to Nvidia 310.19 in System
Sources. So the kernel must have been built for a Nvidia driver.
When you change from Nouveau to Nvidia you get a message to reboot the
system. In this case when I changed between Nvidia drivers I didn't got
such a message. I wanted to see if the new driver was activated after
logout and login, but the system hanged after logout. The only way to
get out of that situation was to use the power switch. After the boot
the system worked OK and I got the crash report. If it is possible to
reproduce the crash, it might be a good idea to make System Sources
provide the message that a reboot is needed.

yeah just a logout is never going to work when the driver version is updated.. File a bug against jockey.
