Bug Description

i845 KMS with:
Linux version 2.6.31-2-generic (buildd@palmer) (gcc version 4.4.0 (Ubuntu 4.4.0-8ubuntu2) ) #16-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jul 6 20:38:51 UTC 2009
Firefox up, entering text, screen goes black. Can't even get a command line prompt from Ctrl-Alt-F1 or F2 or F3 or ...

Nothing visible in /var/crash. There are errors in .xsession-errors and Xorg.0.log, also a little in Syslog:

Jul 7 13:45:55 linux console-kit-daemon[2169]: WARNING: Unable to activate console: No such device or address
Jul 7 13:45:58 linux pulseaudio[3696]: bluetooth-util.c: Error from ListAdapters reply: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown

Was not able to log in via ssh: connection refused.

Do not seem to have this problem with 2.6.31-1.

Anything I can try or any other logs that might be useful?

Jerry

Karmic died black screen three times this morning in the last hour, one each with 2.6.31-2 update as of 9 am EST 20090708, 2.6.31-1, 2.6.30-10. That's all from the same boot and all from the latest gnome gdm. Same pc as in original bug description. Common factor is the latest karmic gnome gdm.

Note I followed the update recommendations from "Next karmic gdm upgrade WILL BREAK your system". It does run for a while....then bang.

This entry is from intrepid, same pc, different boot. Attached are xsession-errors, Xorg.0.log, last part of syslog.

Note at the black screen, the pc is dead altogether.

Cannot get command line from Ctrl-Alt-F1 or 2 or ....

Cannot ssh in over the network "connection refused".

Attached is the Xorg.0.log.

Does Gnome keep any kind of an error log?

Been running all day without a black screen.

Removed:

splash

from /etc/default/grub then did sudo update-grub.

In this pc the "random black screen" must be very related to the "random logout" in other processors, see bug #396226 as written about in "Workaround for random crash bug on gdm 2.26" http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1206717

therefore this bug 396843 looks like a duplicate of 396226,
