Comment 75 for bug 615549

@Jamie

I think the fact that you haven't been getting VT1 starts confirms that the /etc/init/gdm.conf fix is effective.

Those logs look like the ones you posted in comment #69 and comment #98 of bug #625239. You are running on a good virtual terminal rather than VT1 or VT2 and you get just the header line of the backtrace--so they don't look like the bug we were tracking here or there.

When I looked a couple of weeks ago I couldn't find any bug reports like the ones you just posted, but I only looked for 15 minutes or so. You may want to check yourself.

Do you remember if you are typing anything when they happen? Anything else you can remember about the circumstances? You mentioned above a resume, is that always or usually involved?

If you think you were only having the VT1 (VT2) problem before you first reported the problem perhaps it would be worthwhile to check the changes you were trying out around comment #69 to see if they were all reversed. You were making changes to the grub configuration, if I recall.

Since we now know that your problem was related to the start of the proprietary NVIDIA driver and since the new problem looks like a crash in the same driver, you might be able to get relief from both by trying to switch to a different driver. I'm no longer using an nvidia card with my lucid system, but if I remember correctly I think you might check either the System->Admin->Hardware Drivers to change drivers, or perhaps you can switch drivers just by turning off all special effects in the Appearance preference. The new driver name then would be reflected in your xorg.0.log files.

If you decide to report this problem I'd suggest you use the "ubuntu-bug xorg" command right after experiencing it to collect the logs the xorg bug team like to see.

I'm sorry you are continuing to have problems.
