How to debug crash; where to file bug?
I can somewhat consistently (4/5) cause a crash on a fresh hardy 64-bit install with fglrx, compiz normal and dual screens (via Option "DesktopSetup" "horizontal") with an x1950 Pro.
To reproduce:
1. Start a fresh graphical session with the above
2. Open firefox
3. Open a YouTube video
4. While that video is playing open a new tab
5. Start a second YouTube video in the new tab
6. Open a new firefox window
7. Move the new firefox window onto the second display
8. Open a YouTube video in the new window on the second screen
9. With all three videos playing, close the one on the primary display (it has two tabs)
10. When prompted select close tabs to confirm
11. Xorg crashes either completely (thus restarting gdm) or it takes the displays down (leaving the contents of the session running) and spins, usually unable to be killed even with "sudo pkill -9 Xorg"
What is the best way to get a stack trace or other debug output to indicate what is crashing so I can report a proper bug?
I have the following from my Xorg.0.log, but it is probably just a symptom.
Backtrace:
0: /usr/bin/
1: /lib/libc.so.6 [0x7f1c2e95d100]
2: /usr/lib/
3: /usr/lib/
4: /usr/bin/X [0x527ea2]
5: /usr/bin/X [0x515c3f]
6: /usr/bin/
7: /usr/bin/
8: /lib/libc.
9: /usr/bin/
I also have the following from /var/log/syslog, but it still doesn't seem very useful.
