My X server sometimes crashes. It then restarts, losing my entire GNOME session. Here is the backtrace: [ 20820.429] Backtrace: [ 20820.430] 0: /usr/bin/Xorg (xorg_backtrace+0x28) [0x4a07b8] [ 20820.430] 1: /usr/bin/Xorg (0x400000+0x60fe9) [0x460fe9] [ 20820.430] 2: /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x7f3f3be62000+0xf300) [0x7f3f3be71300] [ 20820.430] 3: /usr/lib64/libdrm_intel.so.1 (drm_intel_bo_emit_reloc+0x0) [0x7f3f38dcec70] [ 20820.430] 4: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so (0x7f3f38fd9000+0x21c0c) [0x7f3f38ffac0c] [ 20820.430] 5: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so (0x7f3f38fd9000+0x2b769) [0x7f3f39004769] [ 20820.430] 6: /usr/bin/Xorg (0x400000+0xdb7c5) [0x4db7c5] [ 20820.430] 7: /usr/bin/Xorg (0x400000+0xd4c33) [0x4d4c33] [ 20820.430] 8: /usr/bin/Xorg (0x400000+0x2d971) [0x42d971] [ 20820.430] 9: /usr/bin/Xorg (0x400000+0x218ee) [0x4218ee] [ 20820.430] 10: /lib64/libc.so.6 (__libc_start_main+0xfd) [0x7f3f3adcfc3d] [ 20820.430] 11: /usr/bin/Xorg (0x400000+0x21499) [0x421499] [ 20820.430] Segmentation fault at address (nil) [ 20820.430] Fatal server error: [ 20820.430] Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault).

Hardware: i586 => x86_64
Created attachment 638 [details] Xorg log file when crashing
For the record, it always seems to happen when I'm using Kate.
Is any other info needed to help this progress?
You can probably get a useful backtrace by attaching gdb to X in a tty & reproduce the crash.

Looks like: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36319 Please test x11-driver-video-intel-2.15.0-2.1.mga1 from core/updates_testing, should land there soon.

Ok, I haven't experienced any crashes since that latest version, thank you very much for the fix.
Status: NEW => RESOLVEDResolution: (none) => FIXED
Reopening, we still have to push an official update. This is an official update request. @QA, there's no easy way to reproduce this bug unless you have a machine with mga1, which has an intel gfx card, as you can see (in this report and in the upstream one https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36319) the X server crashes on occasion. Installing x11-driver-video-intel-2.15.0-2.1.mga1 from core/updates_testing should fix the issue. Proposed Advisory text: ========================================== Due to a batch buffer overrun bug in the open source Intel graphics cards driver, the X server would crash occasionally. This update fixes the issue. Upstream bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36319 ==========================================

Antoine's testing shows the update works on his 64 bit system. I can only test that the rpm package installs cleanly on a 32 bit system. In the case of hardware drivers, I think that's all qa can test. Can someone from the sysadmin team push the package x11-driver-video-intel srpm x11-driver-video-intel-2.15.0-2.1.mga1.src.rpm from Core Updates Testing to Core Updates please.

I've also had no crash till now with this update. It is also x86_64, but the bug was only reported on this arch.

Validating the update : no crash since one week.
Keywords: Triaged => validated_update
Un-validating : unless I'm mistaken, it still hasn't been really tested on i586. Unless we change the policy, we have to have it tested.

Tests OK on i586 (using Asus eee701) BTW: I had not noticed any problems with the original package.
