"invalid" is a funny classification for a bug that made Ubuntu unusable on certain machines at the time of reporting.
After 5 years with no action you may be sure that I'm not using a nvidia card/driver any more, bye. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/620478 Title: xorg crashes randomly with seg fault Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: This is similar to bug 578750, but on my system this particular bug only started to occur recently. I'm getting frequent crashes of the X server with this stacktrace in the logs: Backtrace: 0: /usr/bin/X (xorg_backtrace+0x3b) [0x80e938b] 1: /usr/bin/X (0x8048000+0x61c8d) [0x80a9c8d] 2: (vdso) (__kernel_rt_sigreturn+0x0) [0x7c8410] Segmentation fault at address 0x40080884 This was without debugging symbols, a version after I installed xorg with debugging symbols can be found in Xorg.0.log.old More info: I'm using "nv" driver with TwinView (via xorg.conf) and this configuration has been working pretty stable for a while. I can't precisely say, when instability returned, but possibly the upgrade of xserver-xorg-core to 2:1.7.6-2ubuntu7.3 escalated this situation. I did the upgrade three days ago, and while it feels that the situation started earlier than that, during the last (3) days the system crashed several times a day (or even: hour). Suspecting TwinView to have a finger in the pie I disabled TwinViw but X crashed only a few seconds after restarting. It can't see a connection to any application, usually I'm in Eclipse (with gtk) when it happens, but that's only where I spend most of the time. The crash might be related to either some mouse activity (never saw it without doing something with the mouse). One crash, e.g., happened about when I clicked on the (KDE) desktop. Another symptom I've been seeing is not crashing but freezing (no reaction to any input device, including not-working keyboard LEDs) - not sure if this is related. Usually, when the system freezes first the full screen flickers shortly before the freeze - and I believe this symptom equally applies to the freeze and the crash. At other times the flicker occurs and after a second or so that system becomes responsive again (micro freeze, you might say). Please let me know what further information would help to identify the problem.
