crash if i press F12

[David Heidelberg]

Binary package hint: yakuake

KDE start, yakuake too. I press F12, start in first shell "wget ftp://...", add "shell no. 2". If i now press F12, Xorg crash(back to kdm).

I using amd64 kubuntu 7.04, with nvidia drivers(lastest from official rep.), KDE 3.5.7

I just tested this on Feisty and Gutsy and cannot reproduce. I am using the FGLRX drivers on my amd64 box which is Feisty using yakuake 2.7.5-4ubuntu2. On my Gutsy box I am using an Intel driver with yakuake 2.8~beta1-1ubuntu1.

Can anyone else reproduce utilizing the "nvidia" driver and not the "nv" driver?

Hi,

I have exactly the same pb than the logger.
Yet, I can't reproduce it systemaically!

My conf is the following:
 * intel core duo
 * kubuntu feisty 7.0.4
 * nvidia 7600 Go with new glx driver
 * yakuake 2.7.5 (installed via adept)

regards

Phil

* kernel 2.6.21
* xorg-server 1.3
* yakuake 2.8

i dont must press F12, yakuake with xserver crash... :-(

[Rich Johnson (nixternal)]

Confirming due to responses. I will speak with the Yakuake dev on this and see if we can figure this out. Thanks everyone for the responses!

There was a report of this in the KDE bug tracker. I will report this in the KDE bug tracker as well.

I'd like to confirm this bug to be existing in Kubuntu Gutsy, too. Running on an IBM Z61m with Intel 945GM graphics chipset, using KDE 3.5.8 and Compiz 0.6.2 (earlier version of compiz had the same problem).

[Shashank Chintalagiri (shashank-chintalagiri)]

I can confirm that this happens on Ubuntu Gutsy with the nvidia drivers. I'm abe to reproduce it with more or less 100% accuracy. Open two tabs, with the second one active. Run some X-application from it (I'm not sure if its all or just a few - I've seen it happen with mplayer and deluge) and X crashes. The time taken to get back to the kdm/gdm varies from time to time.

[Rich Johnson (nixternal)]

Does this happen if you use a different shortcut than F12? I use ctrl~ and I can't reproduce this with either yakuake 2.8.1-1ubuntu2 (KDE 3) or yakuake 2.9.1-0ubuntu1 (KDE 4). Can anyone confirm this in Hardy at all while not using Compiz?

[Rich Johnson (nixternal)]

Marking as duplicate of bug #126732. This is also been confirmed by X developers to not be a Yakuake issue but an issue with X as every distro is having this same exact problem. The problem only occurs when using compositing and seems that it doesn't matter which video driver you use. Thanks!
