Fwiw, we've been getting these out-of-memory-leading-to-X-crash bugs for about a month. The first reported bug I can recall was Mario's bug #705078 dated 2011-01-19.
I see ubiquity 2.5.6 was uploaded on 2011-01-17. If it is an X client leaking and we think the installer is a suspect, then the ubiquity changes in that version would be worth reviewing. In addition to the ubiquity changes (which sound innocuous from the changelog entries), it also incuded updates to grub-installer 1.57ubuntu2, netcfg 1.57ubuntu3, partman-auto 93ubuntu3, partman-target 71ubuntu1, user-setup 1.28ubuntu12, so I guess any of those could be candidates. Is there a way we can pinpoint what X client is gobbling the memory? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/714829 Title: Xorg segfaults during LiveCD installation using preseed file -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
