SilverFire, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks /thinkpad-edge-laptops/thinkpad-edge-e540 an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (2.22). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?
If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New. Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-2.20 ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1519279 Title: Xorg segfault on external display plug/unplug Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Lenovo Thinkpad E540, Ubuntu 15.10, xorg 1:7.7+7ubuntu4, driver NVIDIA 352.63 (also reproduces with NVIDIA 340.96 and nouveau) When I plug/unplug external display (VGA or HDMI), X server crashes with the following backtrace: [ 115.212] (II) XKB: reuse xkmfile /var/lib/xkb/server-B20D7FC79C7F597315E3E501AEF10E0D866E8E92.xkm [ 116.571] (EE) [ 116.571] (EE) Backtrace: [ 116.571] (EE) 0: /usr/bin/X (xorg_backtrace+0x4e) [0x564e760ab68e] [ 116.571] (EE) 1: /usr/bin/X (0x564e75ef7000+0x1b89f9) [0x564e760af9f9] [ 116.571] (EE) 2: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x7f1d7f12b000+0x352f0) [0x7f1d7f1602f0] [ 116.571] (EE) 3: /usr/bin/X (DamageRegister+0x11) [0x564e760323e1] [ 116.571] (EE) 4: /usr/bin/X (0x564e75ef7000+0xd9b08) [0x564e75fd0b08] [ 116.571] (EE) 5: /usr/bin/X (BlockHandler+0x8a) [0x564e75f53cca] [ 116.572] (EE) 6: /usr/bin/X (WaitForSomething+0x163) [0x564e760a83f3] [ 116.572] (EE) 7: /usr/bin/X (0x564e75ef7000+0x57fa1) [0x564e75f4efa1] [ 116.572] (EE) 8: /usr/bin/X (0x564e75ef7000+0x5c34b) [0x564e75f5334b] [ 116.572] (EE) 9: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (__libc_start_main+0xf0) [0x7f1d7f14ba40] [ 116.572] (EE) 10: /usr/bin/X (_start+0x29) [0x564e75f3d6c9] [ 116.572] (EE) [ 116.572] (EE) Segmentation fault at address 0x10 [ 116.572] (EE) Fatal server error: [ 116.572] (EE) Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault).
