Seems like I've got a repeatable problem after updating to KDE4.13 (update from KDE 4.12 to 4.13 with a downgrade on the branding).
I can trigger the crash by launching Chromium (any version from 31 through 33 - I tried 31, 32 and 33, wiping ~/.config/chromium each time to force a clean start). As soon as I launch Chromium, the X server dies and leaves this line in /var/log/messages:
2014-04-25T19:10:33.176822+02:00 linux-w1b9 kdm[600]: X server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly
No other error is showing up in messages, Xorg.0.log and so on (at least not that I can see).
Firefox 29.0 works fine.. Chromium is the only app so far that I've found to trigger the X Server crash after upgrading.
Any tips on finding a way to nail this one down?
Just for "fun" I installed Chrome (next to Chromium) and tried running... instantly on launch of Chrome (exactly the same as Chromium), X crashes with a "terminated unexpectedly" in the messages log.
Still no clue what's triggering this.....
OK... I seem to have resolved it. Since this problem is an X crashing thing, the next step in finding the root cause was to poke at the NVidia drivers. I rebuilt them and rebooted... Chrome works now. This whole thing was rather odd. The KDE4.13 update didn't include a new kernel (I check the update before I apply). It was only a KDE4 update I triggered... but somehow something tweaked the NVidia driver in such a way that only Chrome and Chromium would trigger an X crash. Weird... but resolved by re-installing the NVidia driver. The only thing I can think of is that the NVidia driver replaces a few stock files, and in the KDE4 update... one of those NVidia customized files was replaced with the stock one and the stock one doesn't "work right" with NVidia?
