I can confirm this. Similar X crash has happened at least about ten times on my 901, running Ubuntu-Eee 8.04.1 with Array.org kernel. Does not matter if I run compiz or not. Usually I get back to login screen after the crash. A few times it has resulted in a total lockup, with sound repeating a short stutter as well - sometimes sound keeps playing normally but the whole machine freezes. Sometimes Ctrl-Alt-Sysctl-and commands to sync, unmount and boot do work, sometimes I need to hold the powerbutton to shutdown.
Ive looked at logs and only thing I could find was a message from GDM about a generic X crash, no other info. I cant get the logs now, I will post them the day after tomorrow when Im home. At first I suspected Pulseaudio, but Ive now removed it, and the crashes have since happened without any audio apps open too. Usually like above - when I click on something or refresh a page or open a new one in Firefox or Opera. Doesnt matter if the page has Flash elements or not. Sometimes the crash happens after several hours, sometimes sooner. I spent quite a while looking for similar reports and seems that a few people have experienced this. Id also look into the video driver for possible causes - I read elsewhere that this same behaviour exists also with 8.10 and Ubuntu stock kernel, as well as Jaunty alphas. Kernel log had no entries at the time of the crashes. I have had a couple similar crashes with Eee 701, same software setup, as well, but I havent yet looked at the 701s logs. Ill try to get back to this soon and post any relevant logs. Do ask if theres anything more I can clarify. This is a pretty annoying issue :/ Thanks and regards. -- xserver crashes at random on Asus eeepc 901, user returned to login screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/337116 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
