Session crash without warning.

[Jules]

First i thought i was linked to thisbug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/774978) but not after the comment of Dave Gilbert.

My session crash without warning some time. It can happen many times in a row or not at all during a few days.
Hope my debug informations will help. I can give you other informations.

I use ubuntu 11.10.
My xorg is "1:7.6+7ubuntu7.1"

Hello,
I'm not sure it worked. My session crashed several times during the process...
Thanks for taking care of my problem

[Dave Gilbert (ubuntu-treblig)]

Hi Jules,
  It's interesting your backtrace does still include an entry in librecord - it looks very much like the original bug in 774978.

[Jules (julestex)]

Hi Dave,
You are right but i didn't see any entry for "libpthread", that's why i created this bug.

[Jules (julestex)]

Here is the comment i posted on (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/774978).

Maybe it can help to solve the problem.

Hello,
I used to have this bug at least 5times/day.
I was ready to do anything (virgin sacrifice at midnight, voodoo incantations, praying for Bill Gates,...).
So when Warren say something about the touchpad-indicator i tried to uninstall it. Just to see...
3 days later... no session crash. For me it "solved" the problem.

I'll post an update if i have the bug again.

[Jules (julestex)]

After 17 days i had no crash.
touchpad-indicator is very handy so today i tried to install it again. Less than one hour later my session close again without warning.
So i uninstalled it again but i will be great to have a solution to this problem.

Jules, 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 that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hello Christopher,
It's been a long time ;).
Since that time I change my computer and upgrade my ubuntu so I don't get this bug anymore.

I think the bug can be closed ;).

Thank you
