Xorg crashes with segfault

[Anders Magnusson]

Using Ubuntu 16.04 and a pretty modern workstation. Every once in a while (some times every other day, sometimes three times a day) X crashes and I'm kicked out to the login screen.

From Xorg log:

[432397.120] (EE)

It seems pretty similar to this issue:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1522727

I understand that this is probably not enough information, but please let me know what more info you need and I'll try to get it.

I don't think I've seen this since this update over a month ago:
xserver-xorg-video-intel:amd64 (2:2.99.917+git20160325-1ubuntu1.2)

So it may have been fixed.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner.

Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) reached end-of-standard-support on April 29, 2021.

Thanks for the feedback Anders. I'm sorry that it took someone over five years in which to acknowledge your comment. I'm closing as "Invalid" as the Xenial release is no longer being maintained.
