Couldn't find more info - if you tell me what you need I'll post it
I tried to revert these packages but I'm not so advanced to handle with some dependencies and kernel revert.

[kotkis (kotkis1)]

Following advice from a friend I started removing dirs from /home.
Removing BOTH /.local and /.mozilla solved this ( I hope so ).
Don't know anymore if this is related to this updates.

[kotkis (kotkis1)]

Problem still exists - more stable but still crashes.
Updated today but still crashes.
Todays updates:

[mike deggs (mike-deggs)]

omg -- yes! This is affecting me too! You are much better at sifting through the logs to find the cause. Its gotten to the point where I cannot trust my ubuntu system to do work -- which is embarrassing because I am the poster child for ubuntu @ IBM in Australia.

Please, please fix this!

[Jinnie (idonchev)]

I also had similar problems.

Once I was unable to login to my profile at all. After going through the login screen my X stuck with just a background and mouse. Had to delete .gconf to have it fixed (after some Google-ing with the errors I got in the logs).

Later Ubuntu started crashing when I use Firefox and I had to delete .mozilla to have it fixed.

This is rather frustrating, when you want to rely on your system for work.

[Neil Perry (nperry)]

Marking as right package, xorg & confirmed as other people are having this problem.

[polskikrol (george-grzyb)]

Having the same problem on newly installed Ubuntu 9.10 Netbook Remix will all available updates. Happens running Firefox and launching application such as the upgrade utility.

[kotkis (kotkis1)]

Some days passed and there is no idea about this.
Experiencing this makes my job really hard.
At least someone give a comment what to do/check/update/revert or whatever..
Let say at first:
"Saw signal 7. Server aborting" - what is signal 7 and what is the difference with common problem - signal 11?

Come on people - don't force me to switch to other OS!

[Iain McFarlane (iain-imcfarla)]

Affecting 2 of my machines both with Intel graphics cards
One is a 945GM the other a 855GM

Only seems to be firefox that triggers it though

Really annoying when trying to search for fixes!

[Killeroid (killeroid)]

I just noticed that this bug is only present on my pcs that have the xorg-edgers ppa enabled. I installed the package "ppa-purge", run the commnad "sudo ppa-purge xorg-edgers", then disabled the xorg-edgers ppa and restarted and I havent run into this problem again.

[Iain McFarlane (iain-imcfarla)]

But then I run into bug 368394

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netbook-launcher/+bug/368394

Caught between a rock and a hard place!

[mike deggs (mike-deggs)]

>> I just noticed that this bug is only present on my pcs that have the xorg-edgers ppa enabled.

I also had this ppa enabled. After following Killeroid's suggestion to remove it, my system seems stable again. Thanks Killeroid! You've made me productive again. And this reinforces the wise warnings about using ppa's that are not part of the official ubuntu build.

[kotkis (kotkis1)]

  >> xorg-edgers ppa enabled - I confirm it.

Just made fresh install - everything was ok.
Then this bug appeared:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/456279 - suggestion was to enable xorg-edgers ppa .. and here I am again.
I should remember not to buy pc with intel graphics again ;)

Joke is a joke ... but reverting drivers is not complete solution - I cannot afford dropping mono applications , also cannot work with constant crashes.

[kotkis (kotkis1)]

Compiled xserver-xorg-video-intel 2.9.1 from sources - finally stable system;)

Seems that this bug is related to newest drivers:
xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.9.99.901
xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.9.99.902

Thanks Killeroid for trasing it.

[Iain McFarlane (iain-imcfarla)]

Upgrading to kernel 2.6.32.2 from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.32.2/ seems to fix it as well so for those of us who want to keep using the xorg-edgers ppa this may be the route to stability.

Hi kotkis,

This bug was reported against an earlier version of Ubuntu, can you
test if it still occurs on Lucid?

Please note we also provide technical support for older versions of
Ubuntu, but not in the bug tracker. Instead, to raise the issue through
normal support channels, please see:

    http://www.ubuntu.com/support

If you are the original reporter and can still reproduce the issue on
Lucid, please run the following command to refresh the report:

  apport-collect 494372

If you are not the original reporter, please file a new bug report, so
we can work with you as the original reporter instead (you can reference
bug 494372 in your report if you think it may be related):

  ubuntu-bug xorg

If by chance you can no longer reproduce the issue on Lucid or if you
feel it is no longer relevant, please mark the bug report 'Fix Released'
or 'Invalid' as appropriate, at the following URL:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/494372

[kotkis (kotkis1)]

Hi Bryce,

Unfortunately this is my workstation and I can not test on it.
I just locked drivers on xserver-xorg-video-intel 2.9.1 version and I'm not planning to upgrade to lucid.

I'll mark this bug as duplicated to 462349 and 458545 which have status "fix released".
Don't know if this is the appropriate action because I don't plan to test this fix, but I'll mark it as "fix relased"

Regards
