Description Roman Odaisky 2010-03-30 10:49:31 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.4.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Often (but not always) when viewing a Kopete message using Ctrl+Alt+A or Ctrl+Shift+I, the entire X session crashes.

The X logs only have this to say:

Backtrace:
0: /usr/bin/X(xorg_backtrace+0x3b [0x8133d6b]
1: /usr/bin/X(xf86SigHandler+0x55) [0x80c7d35]
2: [0x728400]
Saw signal 11.  Server aborting.

This doesn’t happen with applications other than Kopete, but on the other hand, none of the other windows often go into the “demanding attention” mode. So unsure to which KDE component to assign this bug.

What other information can be useful to find the source of this bug? The nvidia non-free kernel module is being used. KDE 4.4.1 with gdm 2.28.1.
Comment 1 Christoph Feck 2010-04-01 01:58:52 UTC 
When X crashes, it is a bug in the X server or inside drivers (graphics or input drivers). When you are seeing the bug with global hot keys, it could be related to keyboard handling.

Please report this bug to http://bugs.freedesktop.org/ as the X server is not part of the KDE Software Compilation. Also, the X server does not depend on any KDE functionality, so bugs in KDE cannot cause the X server to crash.
