Bug Description

Since upgrading to Ubuntu 15.10, X.org crashes intermittently. The screen will suddenly turn black, and after a few seconds, the LightDM login screen appears. All unsaved work is lost of course.

https://usapillspharma.com/product-category/buy-phentermine-online/

A clean install of 15.10 did not help, the problem persists.

It happens absolutely randomly. I haven't been able to figure out any pattern related to time or specific user interaction that would cause this, except that I believe the crash is always triggered by some kind of input device action, i.e. mouse click or key press. The system won't crash if I don't actively do any work.

Has the fixed version reached the Ubuntu 15.10 repos? I still see this kind of crash running xserver-xorg-video-intel version 2.99.917+git20150808-0ubuntu4 which I believe is the latest available one from the apt repos.

Andreas, you are probably running into this bug which is still current.

A fix needs to be backported to wily.

Maybe not the right place to ask this, but how can I get a full stack trace instead of these "3: ?? [0x562010113310]"?

I've installed dbg-packages of xserver-xorg-core and xserver-xorg-video-intel.
