Err... then I tried CTRL-ALT-DELETE, it jumped quickly to the desktop and then back to the terminal as it shut down. I have no idea what this means. Jeremy On Tue, Mar 1, 2011 at 9:26 PM, Jeremy jeremyb...@gmail.com wrote: Okay, so here's what happens: I CTRL-ALT-F1 log in su to

Okay, I was able to start debugging it with the -core option in the X startup instead and now I can't get it to crash. I guess close this bug report. We can open it if it crashes again, and I'll get the core dump next time. On Tue, Mar 1, 2011 at 9:29 PM, Jeremy jeremyb...@gmail.com wrote:

Hi Jeremy. Cyril Brulebois k...@debian.org (16/01/2011): if you're talking about the backtrace in the X log, that's normal, that's what glibc's backtrace() gives. You need to use gdb to get a full backtrace: http://pkg-xorg.alioth.debian.org/xsf-docs/howtos/use-gdb.html Ping? KiBi.

Hi KiBi, I've tried a few times to get a backtrace, but every time try to attach GDB to the process, it freezes up. I'm going to try again, to tell you exactly what happens. Jeremy On Tue, Feb 22, 2011 at 10:39 PM, Cyril Brulebois k...@debian.org wrote: Hi Jeremy. Cyril Brulebois

No, if I recall, I do it from the first virtual terminal, and then it locks up. I'll have to double check though. Jeremy On Tue, Feb 22, 2011 at 11:25 PM, Cyril Brulebois k...@debian.org wrote: Hi, Jeremy jeremyb...@gmail.com (22/02/2011): I've tried a few times to get a backtrace, but

Hi Jeremy, Jeremy Salwen jeremyb...@gmail.com (27/12/2010): I get a backtrace from the X server, which I will try to attach. I installed the xserver-xorg-core-dbg, as well as a libmesa-dri (or something like that) dbg package, but the backtraces I'm getting still don't list function names.
