A recent update to Workrave (possibly 1.9.908?) has fixed this and I've had no further crashes (on 11.10) since the update. I don't think it has made it into the main repo yet, as I am installing from Rob Caelers ppa.

Jadi, Christian, Retrokid, Jules, Are you sure it's the same bug? Only a few random X crashes fit into this bug, It's only the same bug if the backtrace (in /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old after X restarts) ends in something like: [ 15223.014] 2: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x7f8335203000+0xfc60) [0x7f8335212c60] [ 15223.014] 3: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/librecord.so (0x7f8332bb8000+0x2920) [0x7f8332bba920] in the backtrace (not the librecord, normally with libpthread near to it). If your backtrace doesn't include that, or if you're not sure please install the xdiagnose package and then just file a separate bug by running in a terminal: ubuntu-bug xorg when you log back in after an X crash. If you are seeing those in the backtrace then please include your /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old showing the problem on this report. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/774978 Title: xserver crashes in RecordAReply when XRecord is enabled in syndaemon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/774978/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hello, since I have updated my notebook to Ubuntu 11.04 (few days ago), I have noticed some problems like: in a certain period of time the section restarts automatically with no reason. When the section doesn't restart automatically, it gets “frozen” and it only stays normal again after a “forceboot” please, understand that a “forceboot” is that one in which I hold down the power button more than 3 seconds.

[Bug 774978] Re: xserver crashes in RecordAReply when XRecord is enabled in syndaemon
My laptop has: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics 1.3.99+git20110116.0e27ce3a-0ubuntu12.1 Laptop randomly crashes X several times a day. Most recently I was typing a Libre Office document, the screen went black for a moment, then I was presented with the opportunity to login again. 11.04 is by far the buggiest and most displeasing experience I've had with Ubuntu. Up until Natty Ubuntu had worked so well for me that I hadn't spent much time troubleshooting. I don't know how to troubleshoot effectively since there seem to be many technical issues that are beyond my capabilities to resolve quickly. 1) My laptop is an Dell Precision M60 2) Video card is Quadro FX Go700 and Natty doesn't seem to like it very much 3) Doesn't run 3D Unity and I don't know if video card is capable of running Unity or not Would've been nice if the Natty install said, "Dude, your system blows chunks. It isn't going to run Natty well so I'm going to quit before I brick your laptop." I've installed Natty cleanly twice but each install becomes an experience in frustration. No clear resolution what the problem is our how to resolve it. When I reboot the laptop I see all sorts of white background and malformed text before the system gets to a login screen. Sometimes I don't get to the login screen and the system hangs with white screen and black malformed text. Here's output from the xorg log file.

[Bug 774978] Re: xserver crashes in RecordAReply when XRecord is enabled in syndaemon
Directions on gathering full traces are here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing >From what I've seen, the easy Apport approach doesn't seem to work with this class of crash for some odd reason, so you'll probably need to use the gdb method. Install debug symbol packages for the xserver, intel driver, and libdrm2 as a minimum. If you have this same crash, you should see a line with librecord.so towards the top of the stack. You should also see a CallCallbacks entry and possibly an entry for libpthread.so. If you don't see librecord.so at all, then you almost certainly have some unrelated crash, particularly if you have the 12.1 -synaptics installed, restarted X, and it still crashed. Aside from the 12.1 package, there are also several workarounds which seem effective in preventing the crash: a. Turn off the "Disable touchpad while typing" option in the mouse settings gui b. Uninstall xserver-xorg-input-synaptics c. Rename the /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/librecord.so to prevent the module from even loading iFred, re-reviewing all the information you've provided, and especially the fact that you tried renaming librecord.so, I think you have some other unrelated crash bug. Please file a new bug report via 'ubuntu-bug xorg', and collect a full backtrace and attach to that bug report. All X crash bugs basically have exactly the same symptoms - you're suddenly dropped back to the login screen, and some crude backtrace is listed in your Xorg.0.log. But those Xorg.0.log crash dumps are generally fairly worthless; sometimes it is enough to spot dupe bugs, but often (like in these cases) there can be some ambiguity. So it's unfortunately quite easy to confuse one person's crash with another (I even get them confused.) Full backtraces are needed to be absolutely sure. These provide exactly which line numbers and functions in each file were involved, and usually even shows the values of different variables. Often with the full traces a skilled eye can spot the flaw right off the bat. The Xorg.0.log crash dumps don't have any of this information. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/774978 Title: xserver crashes in RecordAReply when XRecord is enabled in syndaemon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/774978/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 774978] Re: xserver crashes in RecordAReply when XRecord is enabled in syndaemon
** Description changed: [Impact] Fairly widespread X crash that occurs seemingly randomly to users, but is actually triggered when a client application makes a call that results in a syndaemon call in the Xrecord module that fails. [Development Fix] Disable linking to the X record module in the synaptics package. See Robert Hooker's debdiff. [Stable Fix] Same fix as for development. [Regression Potential] - + XRecord was not enabled in maverick, so disabling it is not a regression from that version. It was enabled in natty to permit avoiding polling of the keyboard which presumably might save battery power usage; however it was found to cause widespread bugs shortly after introducing it - see comment #38 for historical discussion. [Original Report] Xserver crashed (landed me back at the gdm login); it happened just after I'd opened a page in firefox - nothing too special, it had some flash in but nothing too unusual and the page reopened fine now.

[Bug 774978] Re: xserver crashes in RecordAReply when XRecord is enabled in syndaemon
I root-caused this bug to figure out what exactly went wrong here, also to help understand the ramifications of dropping xrecord. Back in October last year, bug #598834 was filed in Debian[1] requesting that libxtst-dev be added as a dependency to xserver-xorg-input- synaptics, to enable syndaemon's -R option to work. The man page documents this option as: Use the XRecord extension for detecting keyboard activity instead of polling the keyboard state. XRecord has kind of a mixed history and I even recall an X.org conference where it was considered to drop it[2] since it's not been too well maintained. Likely it's a bit buggy. But not a big deal; we didn't use -R for syndaemon in Ubuntu, but this would make the functionality available to anyone wishing to opt in to use it for testing or whatever. We didn't even take note of the new option. But then one day, someone noticed that syndaemon was eating precious battery power due to polling and noticed it had this -R option which promised to make it stop doing it. Polling is bad. And so it was that on April 5th, gnome-settings-daemon opted to start calling syndaemon with the -R flag when people have the "Disable touchpad while typing" option flipped on. Bug #754470[3] was filed shortly thereafter, on April 8th. It seemed that people were suddenly seeing syndaemon consuming 100% CPU either right after boot or some various point during use. Gah! Us X guys got a spate of these reports around this time, which was quite troubling because it was so near to release and (as far as we knew) we hadn't made any changes to X that would have caused this! Chase Douglas was quite a hero and jumped right on the problem. He had been doing a lot of X development work for touch devices which had involved a number of uploads to -synaptics, and so he was both familiar with the code and perhaps worried his changes might have caused the problem people were seeing. He figured out that XRecord wasn't able to process all the different types of events that it was experiencing, and so would leave some events on the stack and get stuck in a loop trying to reprocess them. He added a patch that would work around this problem by just draining those unrecognized events. The CPU issue was solved. But everyone knew this was just papering over whatever the underlying problem was. His fix was uploaded 04-16. Bug #771655[4] was filed on 4/26 suggesting a regression occurred starting around apr 20th. This bug #774978[5] was filed on 5/1. Quickly we started seeing a deluge of dupe bug reports about this X crash. (Check it: dozens of dupes and 37 affected; plus 28 on #760695, 15 on #776654, 22 on #780358, and 80! on #778490.) On 5/23 Sarvatt figured out that disabling record made the problem go away. I'd really like to know how he had this brainstorm, and wish we'd pumped the fix out sooner after that point. Sarvatt kicks ass, we need to listen to him better. Anyway, subsequent testers on this bug confirm his findings, and here we are now today. 1: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=598834 2: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/Events/XDC2008/Notes 3: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/754470 4: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/771655 5: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/774978 ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #598834 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=598834 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/774978 Title: xserver crashes in RecordAReply when XRecord is enabled in syndaemon -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Now I have installed Robert's ppa version of xserver-xorg-input-synaptics, so we'll see if that fixes the problem.
