Please note: the exact same scenario on the same hardware (multi-boot) works flawlessly with Ubuntu 8.10 using the same 177.80 nvidia driver and Ubuntu PPA build of OpenOffice 3, both with and without the new Presenter Mode plugin (Fedora provides the plugin as standard). This is completely reproducible. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect 2nd display. 2. Configure 2nd display using the appropriate display manager (depending on which driver is in use) 3. Open a presentation in OOo3 Impress, and click the Slide Show menu to attempt to select Slide Show Settings. Actual results: One of two things will happen. Either the menu will work because OOo3 does not realize that you have configured the 2nd display (and Slide Show Settings ... will have the option to select a 2nd display grayed out), or the entire X11 session will terminate, and you'll have to wait for it to restart at the login dialog. Expected results: The menu should appear, and you should be able to select that the presentation monitor will be on the 2nd display, so that you can start a slide show using the new Presenter mode. I'll be happy to provide whatever follow-up information you desire. ThinkPad T61p 6457-7WU, Fedora 10 with all updates as of today.

First of all, I installed the binary only AFTER reproducing this error in the first place. Second, I uninstalled the binary, rebooted, and checked to make sure that Xorg.0.log had no references to any nvidia provided code.

As per http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21464 the patch is now in Xorg 1.6.1.902. Once the new X server becomes part of Ubuntu, then this problem should go away. In the meantime, I've been using the custom Xorg binary as in the previous comment for some time now and have not seen a crash at all with it. I'm convinced the patch solves the problem. -- Xorg intermittent segv in XkbSendMap in ProcXkbGetKbdByName https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/334626 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

There was a pretty significant Xkb string bug that caused segfaults that has since been fixed in jaunty. I'll hazard to bet that fix covers this crash too, and am going to close the bug.

This is a critical system for my work and 9.04 is still alpha-ware,
though I do have some free partition space that could suit.
You can see that there are two keyboard character devices (13,68) and
(13,65), but the (13,68) gets two named entries - that's fine...
