Xorg dies with signal 11 after error in libglx with nvidia

[Pieter Lexis]

Binary package hint: nvidia-glx-new

I was running VLC, pidgin, firefox and audacious. Since i was watching a movie so nothing special was going on at the time. Suddenly X restarts and i find the following backtrace in my Xorg logs:

Backtrace:

I'm running Jaunty(9.04).

I get a very similar error with my Xorg restarting randomly with the following backtrace:

I'm running 64bit Karmic on a t61 thinkpad (nvidia nvs140m) (vers. 190.42 of nvidia drivers). I also see this exact same error on Jaunty 64bit on the same machine.... I never got this error running 32 bit now I get it quite frequently. Sometimes it happens 3 times in 15 minutes... other times everything will be peachy for hours or days. If anyone needs more data just ask.

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.

[bugbot (bugbot)]

We're closing this bug since it is has been some time with no response from the original reporter. However, if the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information. Also, if you could, please test against the latest development version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help.
