Bug Description

Binary package hint: apport

maybe i needed to do that without sudo -i to backtrace Xorg freezing on other user. Not user root but who is also root.
usually apport is in my processes first time its in root.
what i did different then ussually is
In tty1 i logged in and put
sudo -i
gdb -p $(pidof X) -batch -ex 'handle all nostop' -ex 'handle all pass' -ex 'handle 11 stop' -ex 'cont' -ex 'bt full' -ex 'cont' > Xorgcrash.txt 2>&1

maybe then couse it runs in root gdb has made apport to run in root? but gdb still working. it hasnt crashed.

Thank you for reporting this issue. Unfortunately, firefox is a gui application, and with gdb running as root in a tty, apport can not open firefox. You may be able to obtain the backtrace by running this in a terminal from the desktop instead of in a TTY.

actually command was attaching pid of X witch is already running. and
also if it would attach pid of FF it would still work. command is
fine. problem was that apport started doing something for long time in
root mode couse nothing has crashed.. apport used all cpu.
