Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

while using the computer (even if I don't touch anything, there's only the desktop), xorg crashes and flashing white bars appears. It's not possible to select the tty screens but the computer can be controlled over ssh from another computer. The apport collect was done over ssh after the crash. The bug appeared after I upgraded from 8.04.3 to 10.04.1.

Marc G., this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xorg-server REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given you already have done this in a prior release, performing this on a release prior to Trusty would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.
