Random logout in Ubuntu 64-bit

[JP Meijers]

Ubuntu 10.10, 64bit

Since yesterday my computer randomly logs out and immediately displays the gdm login screen. This happened 4 times already since last night. Never before that. At least three of the times it happened right after I clicked the cross at the top to close a window. All three times it was a different program (pidgin, nautilus, chrome).

I'm using the default ubuntu theme with gnome.

I can not find anything in my logfiles that explaines this and all that I have done in the past 48h was to update my system with apt-get update. No new hardware or software was installed.

A summary of the log files around the latest logout is attached.

This seems to be X crashing from a segmentation fault rather than an actual logout. Relevant Xorg logs attached.

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

JPM, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xorg-server REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given you already have done this in a prior release, performing this on a release prior to Trusty would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

It's not issue for me since long time ago I switched to Lubuntu (lxde,
lxdm).
