[Solved] xfce 4.8 / nvidia quadro fx880m ... crashing all the time ;-(

Hello there,

I added xubuntu to my ubuntu+kubuntu 10.10 system yesterday; then I updated to 4.8.

Its really great, much faster than gnome or kde ... but unfortunately, it is also crashing much
faster ;-(

I was either clicking something within opera or firefox ... anyway, 4 times this morning
it just "snapped" on me ... and I was back to the login panel.

So - where I should I start checking for causes?

If it only happens when you're using opera or firefox, I'd be checking them.  Possibly there's either a page or an addon that's interacting badly with XFCE.

If the desktop suddenly exists, it can only be xfce4-session, but if this is triggered by firefox (while running) it seems highly unlikely Xfce has anything to do with this. Either look in the .xsession-errors file or vt1 for errors. xorg log in /var/log might shed some light on the problem too.

That looks more like X is going down for some reason, taking xfce4-session with it.

X would mean the nvidia xserver, right?

Strange thing is that the same system runs fine with gnome/kde ;-(

Fresh install of 11.04 xubuntu (some recent ISO) seems to run fine with current nvidia driver.
No more crashes.
