Gnome just crashes

**Beavis&Butthead** · July 17th, 2008

Sometimes at a random point Gnome stops working.
Not completely to an halt but to the point i can still move my windows and some applications work, and some don't.
This is how a terminal looks then (just like some other windows):

Notes: Not all windows are completely white, Just the text boxes in SOME apps,
And i couldn't take a normal screenshot anymore so i grabbed my camera.
Shortly afterthat everything stops (except the mouse).

The TTY's just function normally and an X(.org) reset just takes me to the login screen where (after i logged in) nothing works in X.
I get a that brownish ubuntu-theme color but, as expected, No gui.

After a reboot everthing is fine.
I listed all modules loaded and processes active at the time from a TTY,
So if you want them i'll just pastebin them.

Some last things:
I thought my ubuntu installation was damaged so i reinstalled but this didn't help.
I didn't had this on debian before.
I didn't install any big software.

So, Can anybody help me on this one?, I am clueless on this one!

I'd like to add:
When this problem occurs i get no sound at all. (normally your hear a login sound you know?)
So.. if thats helpfull!
('Sounds' like X might be a problem)

Hello,

and I was ready to tell you that you could use print screen instead. Yet I think that it would have been better to upload your pics here, instead of making a tar and upload it.I saw what you mean.

So, your pc was working nicely until you installed ubuntu?
Have you seen the error logs in case you can make out anything from there?

What do you mean with the sound? If you are in your desktop and you open a terminal and is all white, what this has to do with sound?
Just some initial thoughts.

Regards!

Well, I mean, When i reset X when this bug happens,
I just get no login sound or anything when the login screen appears.
NOR when i logged in (And no GUI appears).
I thought this might help or something.
And i see what i can make up from the logs...
