Bug Description

Edit: I thought this was a flashplayer issue, but it happens randomly

I am using 12.04 64bit, Nvidia 8600gt. I get the problem during both nouveau and nvidia propretary drivers. I had the problem on beta and also final release (clean installs).

Summary:
X randomly restarts (I am logged out). I have not experienced the problem on Unity 2d, but I have tried it only a couple of hours.

OK, I did my best to do what I am being told on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing.

You can see the attachment.

Note: I don't get the logouts anymore. X just stops responding. I have installed Nvidia Proprietary drivers, then went back to Nouveau, behaviour is same. System just freezes, and does not respond. But I can connect through ssh and run commands.

Also I generated this log file on during my Nvidia proprietary driver use (Not Nouveau). I was using Nouveau drivers for the previous gdb-Xorg.txt file.

I don't know if it has any use, but I am attaching it.

I've installed Flash-Aid plugin for firefox and installed beta flash from adobe lab repo using this plugin. Works well so far, flash crushes sometimes but X doesn't restart randomly.

This bug is in it's own league. Has anyone personally seen a bug through to its fixed conclusion on this website? There are so many different Bug Report (#'s) for the same issue. I also have a problem with duel monitors and I am just not seeing any progress. So I am wondering if these bugs get fixed in an update ie one day update manager will be the ubuntu bug messiah and magically fix the bug? Is that the way it works? Or do I have to be more proactive and look for and apply the bug fixes? Seriously considering going back to 11.10 where things worked. Never - Never - never (since i have been using ubuntu from version 8) have I ever lost work or time because of a nasty bug like this one. Is there a way you can pay for a working ubuntu 12.04? Anybody care to comment?
