I have just tried twice to get a backtrace, but I have run into perhaps another issue.
First attempt, I logged into X with a failsafe terminal session. I issued "xterm &" to get a new terminal. Then "metacity & ; firefox &" to get the backtrace instructions on screen. "pgrep Xorg ; sudo gdb /usr/bin/Xorg 2>&1 | tee gdb-Xorg.txt" then in gdb "attach <num>". At this point the screen froze, I could not change virtual terminal, I could toggle numlock, but that was all. I hit the power button and waited for the machine to power down. Second attempt, I worked from one Virtual Terminal, had lynx in another VT, ran gpm to copy paste the commands. I opened an X session with failsafe terminal, and in my first VT issued "pgrep Xorg ; sudo gdb /usr/bin/Xorg 2>&1 | tee gdb-Xorg.txt" then in gdb "attach <num>", this time this command generated output, I then issued "cont" ant pressed ctrl+alt+F7, but the screen went black, I could then not change VT, not even turn numlock on or off. I hit power switch and waited for machine to turn off. I'm going to have another attempt now. -- When watching video, any window over video causes corrupt display and logout https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/353397 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
