Bug Description

I have no idea how to reproduce this. On laptop always when I go to aliexpress.com with Firefox and spend some time there, X crashes and I am thrown back to login screen. This doesn't happen with desktop PC and I am lost on why.

I have had this happen at least three times, but this is the first time apport manages to open report a bug page.

Thank you for your report!

However, processing it in order to get sufficient information for the
developers failed (it does not generate a useful symbolic stack trace). This
might be caused by some outdated packages which were installed on your system
at the time of the report:

no debug symbol package found for libevdev2
no debug symbol package found for libxshmfence1

Please upgrade your system to the latest package versions. If you still
encounter the crash, please file a new report.

Thank you for your understanding, and sorry for the inconvenience!

After receiving the email about this being invalid, I went to #ubuntu-bugs where this was discussed, however as seen by end of this log, I am stuck and I am leaving PC for tonight so I thought I should paste it here too.

2015-07-28 18:30:34+0300 < Mikaela> Hi, I am having trouble with Ubuntu 15.04 and Firefox. Always when I go to aliexpress.com and spend some time there, Xorg crashes and I am sent back to login screen (sddm). This has happened at least three times and only on the last time Apport succeeded at uploading backtrace and whatever it was doing. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1479009
2015-07-28 18:30:34+0300 < Mikaela> Shortly after reporting that, Apport emailed me that my bug report is invalid, because my system is not up-to-date while it is and it complains about missing debug symbols for libevdev2 and libxshmfence1 as you can see. However there are no debug packages in Ubuntu repositories that I can see. My sources.lsit is http://sprunge.us/eNFQ
2015-07-28 18:30:34+0300 < Mikaela> What should I do?
2015-07-28 18:30:36+0300 < ubot5> Error: ubuntu bug 1479009 not found
2015-07-28 18:30:54+0300 < Mikaela> oh, yes, because it's marked as private, but I assume there is someone here who has access to it anyway
2015-07-28 18:34:01+0300 < TJ-> Mikaela: "#9 __memmove_ssse3 () at ../sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memcpy-ssse3.S:1384"
2015-07-28 18:35:25+0300 < Mikaela> that says nothing to me
2015-07-28 18:36:15+0300 < TJ-> Mikaela: it's the point in the stacktrace that appears to have caused the abort... I've seen that myself, too
2015-07-28 18:36:41+0300 < Mikaela> I see
2015-07-28 18:43:28+0300 < TJ-> It looks like the apport retracer has missed some debug symbol packages
2015-07-28 18:43:57+0300 < teward> or they weren't installed
2015-07-28 18:44:01+0300 < teward> therefore skipped
2015-07-28 18:45:06+0300 < TJ-> the retracer should install the relevant packages though
2015-07-28 18:46:23+0300 < Mikaela> but those two packages don't exist, as far as I am aware they should be called as libevdev2-dbg and libxshmfence1-dbg, but if you apt-cache search without the -dbg you are only going to find those two packages, no dbg packages or anything else
2015-07-28 18:47:12+0300 < TJ-> Mikaela: they're ddebs
2015-07-28 18:47:23+0300 < teward> TJ-: true... that's odd...
2015-07-28 18:47:42+0300 < TJ-> apt-cache search -n libxshmfence1-dbgsym
2015-07-28 18:47:42+0300 < TJ-> libxshmfence1-dbgsym - debug symbols for package libxshmfence1
2015-07-28 18:47:54+0300 < Mikaela> I am not sure what those are as I haven't heard that word earlier
2015-07-28 18:48:39+0300 < Mikaela> and that command returns nothing for me
2015-07-28 18:49:22+0300 < TJ-> I've checked there's no private info, and reassigned it public bug #1479009
2015-07-28 18:49:23+0300 < ubot5> bug 1479009 in xorg-server (Ubuntu) "Xorg crashed with SIGABRT when browsing aliexpress.com with Firefox" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1479009
2015-07-28 18:49:39+0300 < TJ-> Mikaela: You'd need the ddebs repo in apt's sources
2015-07-28 18:50:55+0300 < Mikaela> I see. Should I find those somehow and then reproduce the bug and hope apport wants to send inf...

So you have ddebs repo enabled? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash

Yes I have and the package doesn't exist in those repositories.

The crashing also got more frequent also outside of what I said originally so I upgraded to wily, but I haven't had much time to try it..

I am sorry for long response time, I was without access to PC for some days.

I don't think this is fixed, but I have changed primary distribution for various reasons anyway.
