Did you know that LTS is going to be renamed to LTUS (Long Time Until Support)? :-)
Well, fed up with frequent crashes and regular loss of documents I tried to find a workaround. I finally decided to try something drastic and removed execute permissions on /usr/bin/xkbcomp, assuming that the chance the signal handling Xorg bug is triggered decreases with the run time of the fork()-ed process. So far I have observed that after implementing my workaround OpenOffice makes Xorg freeze for up to one minute when you use the menu for the first time - but then the whole thing resumes! That's not what I actually expected to happen but it's far better than having to start another computer to log in, kill Xorg, start a new session twice a day, anyway. I can actually live with a menu taking a minute to open from time to time :-) I'll let you know if my workaround causes other, more serious drawbacks or the Xorg freezing happens in spite of the workaround. -- xorg hangs on dapper (upstream patch available) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/135878 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
