X Server stopps responding

[Gal Ish Shalom]

Usually when working with google-chrome or chromium, X server stops responding; you can see the screen, mouse is moving (event changing cursors correctly) but no action can be taken.
Ctrl+Alt+F1 is working, from where chrome processes can be killed, but situation does not change.
"Kill the X server" available through tweaks does terminate the server, but it does not load back again (a gray screen appears, and nothing else happens). At this point, Ctrl+Alt+F1 does nothing.

Gal Ish Shalom, 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 as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xorg 1404664

Please ensure you have xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes button for attaching additional debugging information.

As well, given the information from the prior release is already available, testing a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

Christopher,

I will see if I can try the daily, but you should know that:
a. I have found similar threads, i.e.
http://askubuntu.com/questions/504124/chrome-crashing-too-often-in-ubuntu-14-04
b. The suggested workaround (running chrome with: google-chrome
--disable-gpu) is a valid workaround I have been using for several days now
