SOLVED Xorg crashing - how to diagnose?

Hi guys,

Lately on my https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Le … on_(Gen_3) Xorg has been locking up.

journalctl seems to have zero info `journalctl -b -1 | tail -n50 > /tmp/last.txt` http://s.natalian.org/2015-11-08/last.txt

I currently log my xorg to tmp. https://github.com/kaihendry/dotfiles/b … profile#L2
Though I wonder how I can make these issues go to one place... the journal.

Annoyingly it doesn't seem to power down smoothly when pressing the power down button. Not sure why. Logs again don't tell me if there was some hold up. And when I reboot I get a unclean mount fsck thing.

Thanks in advance for any pointers,

Remove the xorg log redirection and paste an xorg log that includes the crash information.

I think I know why the power button is now working. It seems to get stuck closing my getty session for my user.

Nov 08 13:47:39 X1C3 systemd[1]: Stopped Getty on tty1.
Nov 08 13:47:39 X1C3 systemd[1]: Removed slice system-getty.slice.
Nov 08 13:49:08 X1C3 systemd[1]: session-c1.scope: Stopping timed out. Killing.
Nov 08 13:49:08 X1C3 systemd[1]: Stopped Session c1 of user hendry.
Nov 08 13:49:08 X1C3 systemd[1]: session-c1.scope: Unit entered failed state.

Aside that, I am now better logging Xorg and hopefully I will see this freeze logged! https://github.com/kaihendry/dotfiles/c … 2be474d657

Ok, I have a backtrace now: http://s.natalian.org/2015-11-09/1447036716.log

I will take this up with xf86-video-intel I guess next. https://bugs.archlinux.org/?project=1&c … ideo-intel

Next I will try mark this thread as solved.

One also has ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log
