bamfdaemon keeps crashing, crashing x

[Serge Hallyn]

Sorry I don't have more information - nothing is in /var/crash. My xsession-errors.old shows:

upstart: bamfdaemon main process (11544) terminated with status 1
upstart: bamfdaemon main process ended, respawning
upstart: bamfdaemon main process (11551) terminated with status 1
upstart: bamfdaemon main process ended, respawning
upstart: bamfdaemon main process (11557) terminated with status 1
upstart: bamfdaemon respawning too fast, stopped
XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0"
      after 74 requests (74 known processed) with 2 events remaining.

Not an easy thing ot reproduce while also getting real work done - so i disabled bluetooth for now.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I have this issue as well. My ~/.xsession-errors.old file contains this:

openConnection: connect: No such file or directory
cannot connect to brltty at :0
upstart: bamfdaemon main process (2855) terminated with status 1
upstart: bamfdaemon main process ended, respawning
upstart: bamfdaemon main process (9791) killed by TERM signal
upstart: Disconnected from notified D-Bus bus

Sometimes, I'm kicked to the LightDM login screen, as what happened this time and is what the error here is showing. Other times, Xorg crashes entirely, leaving me unable to get to the terminal sessions on Ctrl+Alt+F1-6, and I get this error after rebooting: https://i.imgur.com/JEveI1z.png

The crashes always seem to happen for me when I put my GPU under load, such as when playing a game, when I was editing an image in GIMP, and when I was watching Netflix in Google Chrome. I do not crash under Windows 8.1 (dual-boot).

I have an Nvidia Quadro NVS 160M running the 340.96 drivers from nvidia-340 (proprietary, tested) and Xubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit is my OS.

I see the same issues as described by aaronfranke. Any solution to this problem yet?
I'm running ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS on a HP laptop with Intel® Core™ i7-6500U processor and Intel® HD Graphics 520 (Skylake GT2) x86/MMX/SSE2, 32bits OS.
