Details

Description:

Gnome crashes randomly when typing. I was using KDE for a week, and I get crashes only in Gnome.

Additional info:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-180/+bug/519265

Look at my dmesg. There is a softirq problem, I have no idea whether it is related to the crashes.

Steps to reproduce:

Log it to Gnome at start typing something. Eventually, it should crash. In my case the crash is usually triggered when, while typing I press a a ) and <enter> key combination.

I have just noticed that softirq is related to wpa_supplicant.

I see this in Xorg.log right after the crash:

I think the same bug is affecting me. I've commented at  bug 19349 , because at first I thought it was a Xorg bug, but now I'm not sure. I think it may be this one (it fits better). ¿Should I delete the other comment?

I've noticed this, at the end of errors.log:
May 12 21:53:02 my_host login[4648]: pam_tally(login:auth): pam_get_uid; no such user
May 12 21:53:18 my_host login[4648]: pam_mail(login:session): cannot determine username

The log time is almost exactly the crashes moment (when gdm restarts).

Also, I've noticed that it happens when I press Enter. Not always, not the first time, just... randomly. But only once (once it has crashed it wont crash again until I reboot the computer).

I have got the same error, randomly gdm restarts and in the errors.log I have the same as Arian Sameni. Xorg.log looks the same as Tadas log...

What's the status with current packages from extra?
