After thinking about this more, I don't believe that the system rebooted. I did not witness the crash, but it was described to me as a reboot. This system does not use a splash (because of a pymouth bug) but does use 'quiet' and so a gdm restart would look very similar to a reboot. When I checked the kern.log I did not see that the system rebooted at the time of the crash, but checking dhcpd logs indicates that network manager did restart dhclient3, which is consistent with an X crash but no restart. I have updated the title accordingly.
Regardless, the SIGQUIT did happen which resulted in significant data loss for the user. ** Summary changed: - [lucid] X crashes and forces a system restart + [lucid] X crashe ** Summary changed: - [lucid] X crashe + [lucid] X crash -- [lucid] X crash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/627055 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
