I had the same, wandring what was happening, but starting Google Earth does the same, as well as entering the screen to configure screen saver, both crashes Xorg. I got those logouts without second session, just by leaving computer inactive. After I was back I had kdm login screen. The Xorg crash I found starting Google Earth. The second I found in attempt to disable screen saver. There is no GUI way to disable screen saver. I raised priority to High and severity to Major, as Xorg crash on screensaver start, with opened applications left on a desktop, can do some damage. My problem seems to be solved using Nvidia driver 169.09 downloaded from ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/169.09/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.09-pkg1.run Attempt to reinstall nvidia-gfxG01-kmp-default-169.07_2.6.22.13_0.3-1.1 and restart X server ended with no server running. Attempt to run 'sax2 -m 0=nvidia' did not help as sax2 was unable to start X server. Are you going to work on this bugreport? If not, then please do not mess with priorities of people who are. Please attach ~/.xsession-errors of the user and also the matching /var/log/Xorg.*.log (presumably /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old, or with "1" for the X session on Ctrl+Alt+F8). Since I submitted this bug report, a patch appears to have fixed this problem. Since it's been intermittent, I'll continue testing for a few days and report back with the error logs if it occurs again. What patch? I think xorg-x11-server 7.2-143.11 I haven't seen the logout problem reappear since I last posted, so I suspect the shared memory problem described by the patch corrected the problem. Works for the reporter. Created attachment 198171 [details]
xsession-errors from user that was logged out
The bug has reappeared. ~/.xsession-errors file from user that was logged out is attached.
Bug appearance is still intermittent.
Bug reopened with ~/.xsession-errors file. Since you're using the NVIDIA driver, this is likely a driver bug. Reassigning. Could you verify, if this issue is still reproducable with release 169.12? Driver download: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_169.12.html http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_169.12.html Installation instructions: http://www.suse.de/~sndirsch/nvidia-installer-HOWTO.html Yes, the logout issue is still reproducible with release 169.12 of the NVIDIA drivers. I finally decided to no longer track proprietary NVIDIA driver bugs against openSUSE. Therefore I'm closing these now as WONTFIX. In case you're using our SLES/SLED products and can reproduce this issue also on thesed products feel free to reopen. These are still tracked, since customers of these products depend on the proprietary driver for newer NVIDIA hardware. Be aware that you need a privilleged account to track anything against our SLES/SLED products. So if this not an option for you I suggest to report the problem to the official NVIDIA driver feedback channels (forum/email; see NVIDIA driver download site) and refer to this bugreport. |
