(continuation) Oh I am sorry ! I assumed I could attach a file independently from the edit session ! apparently not ;-)
so, now, kdm started Xorg and not X (as it should be ? you tell me !) I did not had any further luck with gdb : attaching it to Xorg, my screen froze as well - I guess I am giving some work to somebody here ... anyway : you may compare the two gdb logs I attached : let me be accurate : X froze when I pressed Enter at the end of the "attach" line" in both cases; then I connected from my i686 desktop, killed gdb, and fortunately this released X/Xorg; it's interesting to see that with Xorg, many (but the normal ones) .so are loaded; and with X, /lib64/ld- linux-x86-64.so.2 only is loaded. To my humble point of vue, Xorg seems to be the healthy one ? I am going to try a last time my "doomed command", so I am posting this partial comment, and will finish with a third one - stay tuned ! -- random Xorg crash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/620278 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
