I have the same issue here. After trying everything I found a workaround: 1. Go to terminal #1 (Ctrl+Alt+F1): sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop sudo Xorg -nolisten tcp :0
2. Go to terminal #2 (Ctrl+Alt+F2): gnome-session Now you have an X session running. If Xorg crashes it will generate a core in the folder where it was started from. It makes things easier if you set the core name pattern. Before starting Xorg, as root: echo "core.%e.%t.%p" > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern No idea if this works with apport. I don't think this should be taken as a definitive solution. If you have an easier way to generate X core dumps please let me know. -- Xorg does not dump core (via file nor Apport) on crash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/666601 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 : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
