X crash

[holstein]

Binary package hint: xorg

some time (around 10 minutes) after resuming from standby, the screen goes mostly black... i can clrl-alt F2 and get a terminal to shutdown, but i have not been able to recover X so far with out the restart... seems like this happened after kernel 2.6.32-16-generic update...

Are you able to reproduce this issue easily? If so, please collect a full backtrace - see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing for directions. If not, could you describe the conditions under which the crash tends to occur?

thanks bryce... im still trying to get into my box to do backtracing while its locked... ctrl-alt-Fanynumber wont get me a terminal, but im noticing some HD activity light action when i press the power key, which makes me think i might get in over SSH or something... it seems to be triggered after resuming from standby, im on the machine now, and i had it on for hours yesterday with no issues, but i put it in standby, and it'll hard lock soon after resuming, but not immediately ... doesnt seem to be triggered by a program or action, but im still experimenting to find a trigger... im glad to try any ideas you have as far as trouble-shooting/testing... thanks again

i noticed a few updates that were not going through... i selected udisks package in synaptic, and got the related packages to update that way... i dont know if these packages can effect the issue, but im unable to get it to lock up since applying updates... i was able to trigger the issue earlier by manipulating a window (fullscreen, maximizing and minimizing a gnome-terminal window) however, for about an hour now ive been sleeping, resuming and manipulating windows after applying those updates, and it seems stable...

spoke too soon... took a lot longer to happen than before though... a couple hours...
