compiz crashed with SIGSEGV in CompositeScreen::compositingActive() from PrivateCompositeWindow::PrivateCompositeWindow() from CompositeWindow::CompositeWindow()

StacktraceTop:

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Looks like bug 833729 was never really fixed properly.

I suspect this bug might have been finally fixed properly by the fix for bug 1065815.

Incomplete... pending the release of the fix for bug 1065815. If this bug persists after that then it can be reopened.

Also affects me. Cannot run unity at all, at present. Can run gnome classic though.

I'm not sure this is necessarily fixed in bug 1065815. I can reproduce this after installing version 0.9.8-1+bzr3409-staging1-201210180713~quantal1 from the daily build at https://code.launchpad.net/~compiz-team/+archive/compiz/+packages

To reproduce::

sudo apt-get install tightvncserver
vncserver :1
DISPLAY=:1 xterm &
vncviewer localhost:1

Then in the xterm window::
unity --debug

Please wait for compiz 0.9.8.6 to test the fix for bug 1065815.

Is there an ETA on when 0.9.8.6 will be released?

Thanks

Jason

Problem arises when I launch a second VNC server. Ubuntu 12.04. Did not have this issue with 10.04 or 11.10.

[Expired for compiz (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

frizzle21,

If you're still experiencing this bug please clarify what compiz package version you have. I suspected bug 1065815 would solve this so you either need Ubuntu 13.04 or compiz 0.9.8.6 in Ubuntu 12.10.

Encountered on 13.04 running in vmware fusion 4.x (ie: no 3d, so it should be reverting to llvm-pipe presumably). It reported the error that led me here, but continued to work anyway. Compiz version 0.9.9; specifically

rachel@daring:~$ apt-cache policy compiz
compiz:
  Installed: 1:0.9.9~daily13.02.08-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 1:0.9.9~daily13.02.08-0ubuntu1
  Version table:

        500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

May be slightly old versions; first time I ran the vm for a week or so, so about to do upgrades, but this happened first. I'll be back if it happens again after reboot...

I've also encountered this error - while trying to remotely connect using XRDP. After remote login, sesman-xvnc started a new session where Compiz refused to run (-> crashed).

pavel@Pavel-Ubuntu:~$ apt-cache policy compiz

i'm running compiz 0990
$ compiz --version
Compiz 0.9.9.0

$ lspci | grep -i vga
04:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G98 [Quadro NVS 450] (rev a1)

marking confirmed

confirmed, running compiz 0.9.9.0, Ubuntu 13.04

Trying to log in via xrdp.

That version has reached EOL since a while, so it will not receive update. If that issue still exist, report again using ubuntu-bug.
