[Martin Skogevall (martin-skogevall)]

Same problem here. Started after upgrade to 12.04.
Suddenly the screen goes black, and after a while the login screen is shown. All running applications are killed.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

that error message has nothing to do with the crash, it just shows that the xserver has died and pulls the rug beneath gnome-session.

[Erez (erez-hadad)]

I have the same problem on a fresh install of 12.04 - NOT upgrade.
From time to time, the X session - whether in Gnome Shell or Unity - simply dies.

I attach my .xsession-errors.old

[Erez (erez-hadad)]

This bug seems related to #583525, although the other one is for 10.04 and expired
In both cases, 64-bit desktop with Nvidia graphics

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Erez (erez-hadad)]

I should point out that I was NOT affected by the related bug on 10.04 - I had it running for years without issues, 64bit with nvidia driver. The driver version was 195.36.24-0ubuntu1~10.04.2 for 10.04 and for 12.04 it is 295.40-0ubuntu1

I also am having this problem. Here is a snippet from /var/log/syslog

(Note: I understand that this is an nvidia bug, and I do not have nvidia drivers. I comment to make it clear that it might NOT be an nvidia bug.)

[John Russell (jrussell-88)]

I have the same problem: Fresh install of 12.04 x64, Nvidia 304.37 driver.

I didn't have this problem in 10.04; actually I would say it's started in the last few months but I can't put an exact date on it.

[Lakin Wecker (lakin)]

This is also affecting me. I had been using Ubuntu 12.04 with a slightly older version of the nvidia driver downloaded from nvidias site. This past weekend, I installed a new SSD - and new Nvidia drivers 304.51 - and I'm just experienced it for the first time, and it's happened twice in the past 20 minutes now.

[Lakin Wecker (lakin)]

I should have mentioned, 64bit linux as well.
