X crashes when starting ddd

[Peter Hopfgartner]

When I start ddd X crashes.

I left some notes on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ddd/+bug/219411/comments/1, but I think now, that this is a more appropriate place for it.

I hope this helps. Unfortunately, there are is no package with debug symbols for this driver.

This looks like a crash in the NVIDIA binary driver, so assigning to l-r-m

[Peter Hopfgartner (phopfgartner)]

Sorry, I can't decode "l-r-m". Anway, I do not have the NVIDIA binary driver installed, I do have the xorg driver installed:

peter@bonobo:~$ dpkg --get-selections | grep nvidia
nvidia-glx-new install
nvidia-kernel-common install

peter@bonobo:~$ dpkg --get-selections | grep nv
libgnome2-canvas-perl install
libgnomecanvas2-0 install
libgnomecanvas2-common install
libtext-iconv-perl install
nvidia-glx-new install
nvidia-kernel-common install
openvpn install
openvpn-blacklist install
python-gnomecanvas install
xserver-xorg-video-nv install

[Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)]

Peter - You do have the NVIDIA binary driver installed and loaded. Your Xorg log shows this, and your crash is in the NVIDIA binary driver too.

Some bits from your Xorg log:

(II) LoadModule: "glx"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.so
(II) Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
 compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.0
 Module class: X.Org Server Extension
 ABI class: X.Org Server Extension, version 0.1
(II) NVIDIA GLX Module 169.12 Thu Feb 14 18:34:02 PST 2008

This bug report was filed against an old version of Ubuntu.
Can you confirm whether this is still an issue in natty?

If you don't mind, it would be very helpful if you could update the bug
report in launchpad to 'Fix Released' if it is no longer an issue for
you, or if it is still occurring under natty, please tag the bug 'natty'
so it's easier for us to track.

[Peter Hopfgartner (phopfgartner)]

Unfortunatly I do not even have access to that machine, anymore.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Since the hardware is no longer available for doing troubleshooting with, we'll have to close the bug for now. However please feel free to reopen if you or anyone else has the same HW and can reproduce this issue using the latest development version of Ubuntu and is willing to do some troubleshooting with it.
