2012-02-27 07:48:54 Mark S description Ubuntu 11.10 crashes on an almost daily basis, and I'm doing various different things when it does so, so I can't easily identify what's to blame. Sometimes it happens when I'm in Firefox, sometimes Thunderbird, sometimes in a Virtualbox machine running Windows Xp. But it always happens the same way: it goes instantaneously to the black screen of death (which looks like a logout) and thence to the login screen. My Xorg.0.log.old has the following entries at the end of the log after every crash: [ 1214.793] Segmentation fault at address 0xb2536008 [ 1214.793] Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault).
