Xorg crashed with SIGABRT in raise()

[old_toby]

I don't know what happened exactly

I restarted the laptop after the latest update, and about when the login should appear, it was dimmed very dark, I could only see a very faint shadow of a dialog box. The same after another restart. At that point, it wasn't possible to switch to another console.

At the third restart, I switched to the first console early enough, and only after some time I switched to console 7 (Xorg) and it worked again.
