Xorg crashed with SIGABRT in RRSetChanged()

Error after booting up

Not sure if it's related, but I am also experiencing bug 1125759

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

This is crashing in code added by patch autoconfig-fixup-tell-changed-so-randr-clients-can-t.patch, added in version 2:1.13.2-0ubuntu1, which improves hybrid graphics support. Maarten will follow up with you for additional testing; meantime downgrading to 2:1.13.1.901-0ubuntu2 would presumably stop the crashes, although your hybrid behavior may not be as good.

[Maarten Lankhorst (mlankhorst)]

is this still an issue with 1.13.3-0ubuntu2? That one seemed to be more reliable for me.

[Adam Bruce (brucey-99-deactivatedaccount)]

I have the latest updates applied and I have

xserver-xorg-core:
  Installed: 2:1.13.2-0ubuntu3
  Candidate: 2:1.13.2-0ubuntu3
  Version table:
 *** 2:1.13.2-0ubuntu3 0
        500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

How do I get the newer version?

[Maarten Lankhorst (mlankhorst)]

It's held up in raring-proposed due to freeze. If you enable it you should be able to get the package.

[Adam Bruce (brucey-99-deactivatedaccount)]

OK, I installed it and it hasn't made any improvement.

I can boot about 50% of the time, which is about the same as the previous version.

Did you want to see the crash report?

[Maarten Lankhorst (mlankhorst)]

Yes please :)

[Adam Bruce (brucey-99-deactivatedaccount)]

OK, I didn't know if you wanted me to attach the crash report here or report is as a new bug.

I have reported it here though, you can decide what to do with it

Bug 1157614

Let me know any further steps I can take

[Adam Bruce (brucey-99-deactivatedaccount)]

that was marked as a dup

here is the crash file anyway

[Adam Bruce (brucey-99-deactivatedaccount)]

xorg from that boot

[Maarten Lankhorst (mlankhorst)]

From the log: 2:1.13.3-0ubuntu2b1

You need 2:1.13.3-0ubuntu3.
