Public bug reported: 1) $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 13.10 Release: 13.10
2) $ apt-cache policy xorg xorg: Installed: 1:7.7+1ubuntu6 Candidate: 1:7.7+1ubuntu6 Version table: *** 1:7.7+1ubuntu6 0 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) X not to crash... Not really sure what else to put. More details below. 4) X crashed and returned me to the login screen. More details on what happens: It seems that loading child windows within certain applications causes Xorg to crash out and return me to the login screen. Most apps seem fine, though. I've been loading every app I have installed and opening as many windows I can find, but very few seem to cause this. How to reproduce: Using VirtualBox. I've copied across some VirtualBox settings from my previous installation and, upon loading VirtualBox on this new installation, I'm given a dialog box which says that one or more of the virtual disks are inaccessible. I'm given the option to "Ignore" or to "Check" and, upon clicking "Check", a new window pops up for a fraction of a second before then X dies and returns me to the login screen. This may help: load VirtualBox, create a new system, close VirtualBox, move the new system's files to where it can't find them then re-load VirtualBox. I did replicate the problem in another app earlier, but can't recall which one... All I remember is that the app loaded fine, but clicking a button to load a child window (a graph, I think), caused X to crash and dump me at the login screen. I'll update the ticket if I find it again. Relevant and perhaps useful information about my system: * Xubuntu 13.10 (fresh install on a new drive); * Running an Nvidia GTX 670 with the proprietary NVidia drivers (v319.32), installed via Ubuntu itself (not from NVidia's site); * Dual monitor setup, using separate X servers (one for each monitor). Resolution is the same, but one is rotated 90 degrees. Does this happen when using TwinView instead of two X servers? Yes. Does this happen when not using any monitor rotation? Yes. Have you found any video configuration where this *doesn't* happen? No. The GDB backtrace should be attached to this report. Please let me know if there's more information required or if you have an questions.
