11.04 Unexpected log off

[Bluesthang]

I've been using Ubuntu 11.04 for about a week now. Love it and everything is running smoothly but for one problem that has happened twice. Ubuntu logged me off unexpectedly, losing whatever I had open at the time. The first time it happened it seemed to have given me a message saying something about verifying my battery, but the laptop was plugged in. The second time it happened there was no message at all.
I don't know if anybody else has had this happen?
I'm running dual boot with windows 7 (which I rarely ever use) on a Vaio laptop.
Also have my /home on its own partition.
The system partition was resized after install with Gparted... I don't know if any of these are possible causes.
If anybody knows how to fix this or verify any causes, or if this can be reported as a bug would be great.

thanks

Those things are difficult to solve, since you can only see it when it already happened. But were you able to login just fine after you logged out?

Maybe it is some trouble with the X-server. Can you check the log files /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old ?

[Bluesthang]

Logged back in just fine both times. Everything seems to run smoothly after.
As for the Xorg files, I am also a newbie in linux, only been using Ubuntu for the last 5 months.
What do I look for in those files ?

The next time it happens, after you log back in, post back the contents of your .xsession-errors file. It is located in your home directory and is hidden, so make sure you have "Show Hidden Files" selected.

[Bluesthang]

OK, I shall do that.
It might take a while to have it happen again.
But as soon as it does, I'll post it back up on here.
Thanks for the help.

How are your power management settings, do you have maybe by accident enabled that the machine shuts down after a certain time or something similar?

I have this issue as well. With nothing but firefox running and browsing the web, I am randomly logged out. There are no error messages and the login works fine. I don't see anything strange in the system logs.

[Bluesthang]

the only change I did to power management, is ''Shutdown when Laptop lid is closed''.
And same for me, was only in a webrowser (Chromium), when it happened the second time.

Hi, are you running desktop effects in compiz while logged in under unity, or do you have a nvidia graphics card?
