Bug#368422: xserver-xorg: general protection crash after 1:7.0.19 upgrade
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.0.19
Severity: normal
On two occasions, the x-windows system crashed:
May 19 16:23:50 localhost kernel: Xorg[21060] general protection rip:868e6c rsp:7fffffed7320 error:0
May 21 19:36:53 localhost kernel: Xorg[3860] general protection rip:8a342a rsp:7fffff9a6810 error:0
At the instant of the crash, the system became unresponsive to keyboard and mouse,
and the screens blanked. I ssh'd into the system and everything looked normal --
all x-windows processes had terminated. The system ran fine, but I didn't know how
to get the keyboard and console back, so I rebooted.
The first crash happened about an hour after these upgrades:
2006-05-19 15:09 upgrade libglu1-xorg 1:7.0.19
2006-05-19 15:09 upgrade libglu1-xorg-dev 1:7.0.19
2006-05-19 15:09 upgrade x11-common 1:7.0.19
2006-05-19 15:09 install xdm 1:1.0.4-1
2006-05-19 15:09 upgrade xlibmesa-dri 1:7.0.19
2006-05-19 15:09 upgrade xlibmesa-gl 1:7.0.19
2006-05-19 15:09 upgrade xlibs-data 1:7.0.19
2006-05-19 15:09 upgrade xlibs-static-dev 1:7.0.19
2006-05-19 15:09 upgrade xserver-xorg 1:7.0.19
2006-05-19 15:10 remove xlibmesa-gl 1:7.0.19
2006-05-19 15:11 remove xlibs-static-dev 1:7.0.19
2006-05-19 15:11 remove xlibmesa-dri 1:7.0.19
Then two days of normal usage before the second crash, just like the first.
In the last case, the system crashed when I moved a kompare window from one
screen to another (dual monitor setup with nvidia twinview). On the other
hand, I move windows between screens all the time without causing a crash.
I cannot reliably reproduce the crash.
