Public bug reported: I'm not sure this is the correct package nor whether it's a single bug but I'm happy to analyse further if someone can help me do so. I just did an apt-get dist-upgrade on my machine and here's what happened:
1. Ran sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade; 2. At the point of setting up man DB, fans starts spinning up, unity locks up (apart from the mouse pointer); this seems to have been happening recently as a result of GPU lock ups; 3. CTRL+ATL+F2, logged in via console to force a reboot; 4. Laptop attempted to close processes but never managed to do so (while fan stayed on full speed); 5. Forcefully shut down the laptop; 6. On restart, I get a screen displayed saying that the system is on low graphics mode; 7. CTRL+ALT+F2 again to reboot; 8. Reboot happens as expected and I can log in to Unity; 9. A few seconds after login, apport fires up reporting an XOrg crash. The /var/log directory contains a number of apport log files that all look something like: ERROR: apport (pid 1556) Thu Apr 18 13:53:22 2013: called for pid 1381, signal 6 , core limit 18446744073709551615 ERROR: apport (pid 1556) Thu Apr 18 13:53:22 2013: ignoring implausibly big core limit, treating as unlimited ERROR: apport (pid 1556) Thu Apr 18 13:53:22 2013: executable: /usr/bin/Xorg (co mmand line "/usr/bin/X :0 -core -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -nolisten tcp vt7 -novtswitch") ERROR: apport (pid 1556) Thu Apr 18 13:53:22 2013: is_closing_session(): no DBUS _SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS in environment ERROR: apport (pid 1556) Thu Apr 18 13:53:25 2013: wrote report /var/crash/_usr_ bin_Xorg.0.crash ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 Package: xorg 1:7.7+1ubuntu4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.8.0-18.28-generic 3.8.6 Uname: Linux 3.8.0-18-generic x86_64 .tmp.unity.support.test.0: ApportVersion: 2.9.2-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: compiz CompositorUnredirectDriverBlacklist: '(nouveau|Intel).*Mesa 8.0' CompositorUnredirectFSW: true Date: Thu Apr 18 14:00:37 2013 DistUpgraded: 2013-03-24 16:04:44,678 DEBUG enabling apt cron job DistroCodename: raring DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: virtualbox, 4.2.10: added ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes, including running git bisection searches GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0126] (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Lenovo Device [17aa:21e8] InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-03-24 (24 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Release amd64 (20121017.5) MachineType: LENOVO 12942NG MarkForUpload: True ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.8.0-18-generic root=UUID=aeda5fea-792c-4b75-b1f9-572ad71afcbc ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 SourcePackage: xorg UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to raring on 2013-03-24 (24 days ago) dmi.bios.date: 06/20/2011 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: 8MET22WW (1.22 ) dmi.board.asset.tag: Not Available dmi.board.name: 12942NG dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: Not Available dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Information dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: Not Available dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvr8MET22WW(1.22):bd06/20/2011:svnLENOVO:pn12942NG:pvrThinkPadX1:rvnLENOVO:rn12942NG:rvrNotAvailable:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNotAvailable: dmi.product.name: 12942NG dmi.product.version: ThinkPad X1 dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO version.compiz: compiz 1:0.9.9~daily13.04.18.1~13.04-0ubuntu1 version.ia32-libs: ia32-libs N/A version.libdrm2: libdrm2 2.4.43-0ubuntu1 version.libgl1-mesa-dri: libgl1-mesa-dri 9.1.1-0ubuntu2 version.libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental: libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental N/A version.libgl1-mesa-glx: libgl1-mesa-glx 9.1.1-0ubuntu2 version.xserver-xorg-core: xserver-xorg-core 2:1.13.3-0ubuntu6 version.xserver-xorg-input-evdev: xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.7.3-0ubuntu2b2 version.xserver-xorg-video-ati: xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:7.1.0-0ubuntu2 version.xserver-xorg-video-intel: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.21.6-0ubuntu3 version.xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.7-0ubuntu1 xserver.bootTime: Thu Apr 18 13:53:57 2013 xserver.configfile: default xserver.errors: xserver.logfile: /var/log/Xorg.0.log xserver.version: 2:1.13.3-0ubuntu6 xserver.video_driver: intel ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug compiz-0.9 raring ubuntu -- 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/1170346 Title: Desktop freeze during update followed by boot problem and xorg crash Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I'm not sure this is the correct package nor whether it's a single bug but I'm happy to analyse further if someone can help me do so.
