I'm a rather experienced Gentoo user but have little experience with Ubuntu.
I have upgraded a friends notebook from 10.04 to 10.10. Everything was fine with 10.04.
The upgrade process runed smoothly but after booting 10.10 the X system randomly restarts. It seems to not be able to run for more than 10 minutes without X abruptly restarting and the login page being presented.
I still couldn't even identify some pattern nor relate the restarts with some specific software.
I've looked in /var/log/messages but there is nothing registered there that seems to be related to this issue.
Despite being an old notebook, I don't think it's hardware related because the problem appeared for the first time after Ubuntu upgrade and it keeps repeating itself after that.
Any ideas?
Please let me know if more info is needed.
