Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. What were you doing when you got logged out? Does it happen on a regular basis? You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures

At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

Hi,
I have a similar problem since I upgraded my laptop to ubuntu 10.10.

I couldn't identify the reason of the crashes, because they appear suddenly and unexpectedly every time. It happens usually, if I open a new tab or a new site in firefox, but I'm not sure, that firefox is the problem. Sometimes it happens without firefox too. (Under windows doesn't happened yet.)
What do you/I need to do to help to identify the problem?

I already tried this solution, but it didn't worked for me:

Thanks for any help, this is a very annoying problem.

Here seems to be a similar description with Google Crome: http://www.google.tl/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=397dc72d2002ea2d&hl=en

Hi,

I made some further observations: The crash happened when I had only a login but did not use any application. Sometimes there are a lot of crashes (every 5 Min) sometimes I can work hours with my laptop.
Is it possible, that a bug is somewhere in the wifi connection?

Yesterday I tried to switch to KDE, but that did not solve the crashes.

It is a very very annoying problem, I've lost trust in my ubuntu system.

Hi,

I downgraded the system to 10.04, and since than is everything okay.

Unfortunately, this bug report doesn't contain enough information for a developer to fix anything. If you can find a reliable way to get from a brand-new installation of Ubuntu to the situation where this bug occurs, please add those steps and reopen the report.

If Ubuntu appears to log out while you are using it, that usually means X has crashed. If it happens again, log in again, open a terminal, and enter "ubuntu-bug xorg" to report the problem.
