Ubuntu 11.04 randomly logs out in middle of use [closed]

logout 11.04

I can see there is a question already.Since my problem is not quite the same but quite similar as far as I understand, I am asking it too.

Basically in the middle of my usage i.e. browsing net or running a random application. Ubuntu sends me to the login window and I have to re-login. I do not know if GDM restarts or something else. This is a problem that I face even in the stable release of Ubuntu.

Is there a bug I do not know about?? How can I debug this ?

Here is my ~/.xsession_errors file output.

I recently got an update to gnome-sessions. I hope that solves the problem, however I can only be sure after testing for few days...Will update the situation.

UPDATE: Nope no progress, got the update but the problem persists. But it seems to be a lot less frequent than it used to be. I am following up this question as some people suggested me to re-install but now I face Unity freezes after compiz configuration change


Solution 1:

This is a bug.

Solution 2:

That can be video driver crashing. What is your video card? Do you use proprietary driver? If yes, try another version, or try removing it completely. Or, unfortunately, it can be many others pieces of hardware. X server is a colossus on clay legs, and most vulnerable to hardware faults. Check you memory (memtest86), HDD (fsck, smart), temperatures (lm-sensors). Try switching off all unnecessary hardware and software. I had seen X server crashes when EiskalDC++ tried to index a 100Gb file, for example. Have you read logs, dmesg? Anything suspicious? P.S. Turn off compiz. It is on by default in ubuntu.

Solution 3:

Are you using Unity or GNOME? Try the other. If that doesn't work, I would suggest Try Xubuntu (to see if it is GNOME). If all that fails, Backup your home partition or folder, and copy /var/cache/apt to another folder, and re-install. Use the Packages from the cache to re-install your applications.
