Hi. Any progress on this? My system is failing very often now. It might be related to:

* Some sys update I performed last days
* I'm using JDownload (a java based app) all the time.

I realized that Chrome gets unstable before the crash (tabs don't work anymore and I have to use it through shortcuts, and rendering issues). Restarting it doesn't work, only restarting the Ubuntu session. So it does JDownloader: windows and alerts (like the captcha one) fails in the rendering.

it's definitely some java related issue. I can get a terminal if I quickly switch to it (there's a loop somewhere because it goes slow with the pass of time). If I get the terminal, the loop stops and I can use it as normal, but if I switch to UI again the system stops. I tried to kill chrome from terminal but it didn't solve it. the only "recent" program I'm using is JDownloader and this occurs very often when it's running (this was the 4th time it crashed in ~30 mins). next time I will try killing java to see what happens...
in the meanwhile, I would really appreciate someone dealing with this :)

thanks.

hi, this is still happening (ubuntu 14.04.3). my system is crashing very often and the log says always the same:

but it only happens when I'm running jdownloader on the bg and the exact moment is when this app tries to show me the captcha. maybe something related to java?
