Ubuntu Randomly Logs Me Out/Xorg Crashing

[alsamman]

I reinstalled 12.04 and recently it crashed again but when I reported the problem it said this:

The problem cannot be reported:

You have some obsolete package versions installed. Please upgrade the following packages and check if the problem still occurs:

xserver-xorg-core, upstart, xserver-common


How exactly do I upgrade these packages???

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

it is better to do the update before the upgrade by

sudo apt-get update

bump. This issue is still going on and I don't know what to do.

Hi there,

I'm experiencing the same problem on my computer where my Ubuntu 12.04 is logging me out randomly. Here are the lines from the Xorg.0.log.old file which are explaining the problem:

If I'm correct there is a problem with my nvidia drivers. Should I reinstall the drivers or would you be able to point me to a fix which can resolve this problem?
Any advices and different opinion will be more than welcome.
