Thanks for reporting this issue. VirtualBox provides its own X driver, and this seems to be an issue with that. Reassigning

While running Jaunty with recent updates on Virtualbox I came up with this error, I wonder if it is a matter of the Guest Additions or simply an issue with Virtualbox.

I was using MS Windows XP Home as the host and was tring to load Ubuntu 9.04
as the guest. I was using VirtualBox 3.0.2. The X server crashed while
trying to install Ubuntu, it did subsequently install but the screen
resolution was wrong and could not be reset. Ubuntu also did not seem to
want to recognise my printer (Canon iP1700). So I gave up and dual-booted
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS with the existing Windows XP Home. This is working very
satisfactorily and I am learning a lot about Ubuntu (which was the original
object of the exercise). Sorry to be the source of problems, it was probably
my fault anyway. Regards, Mike Goose.

Hem, I was using the live CD on a "real" session, and I don't understand what you say. It's my first bug report and I'm lost.

For me the X Server always crashes on shutdown. Though it's not noticeable except that Apport pops up after booting.
This also happens when the VirtualBox x11 and kernel drivers are disabled/not loaded.

I am using ubunti 9.0.4 natively (no windows host) for the past 36 hours or so. Have an AMD Athlon 1.33MHz and an ATI Radeon AIW 9000 64MB card. All was fine till about 2 hours ago. For the first time since clean install instead of Suspend I Shut down completely and powered backup. Again for about an hour+ everything was fine including photo cropping etc in GIMP. I was then simply logging out of a simple Gmail.com site and the system froze! Nothing would work or respond. I had to power down and backup. O/S seems to load but at some the monitor shows frozen bit pixels and that's it...

I have tried all boot options including 'try to repair graphics' and all of them complete ok. Even all graphic functions seem to work when I boot from cd! but if try and boot normally the same problem.

I did install the ATI Binary XORG Driver yesterday - this was to see if I can get my TV out working. But it didn't and the system had been working fine otherwise. I am not a programmer or otherwise geeky...but can follow instructions. Please help!

I think the thing about Live CD's is they are only current at the time they
were initially purchased unless you have updated and burnt a cd with the
most recent version of Ubuntu it is likely in using the LIVE CD you are
using an earlier version - an Alpha version Perhaps. With Live CD's
sometimes it is best to try and get the most recent distribution and burn a
new one and use that.
