This seems to be reproducable by activating the gnome screensaver and then unlock the screen.

Thanks for your bugreport.

This should be fixed with the upload of compiz-fusion-plugins-main version 0.6.99+git20080121-0ubuntu1 in hardy.

Cheers,

Hi Michael,
I cant confirm that this can be reproduced with the method you say
because I had already installed the update before I read this message.
If u need me to roll back to verify that your method to reproduce this
is right on my system, I can. I just tried it and it was fine, so I
can confirm that the bug is not reproduceable in this way with the
latest patch....
Not terribly helpful I know.
Let me know if u want me to roll back the plugin package, ok?

Thanks
Keith

Yes, I got an email earlier that this bug was fixed with the latest patch.
I've had no problems since either.

The crash is still there but harder to trigger now

I'll assign this bug to compiz-fusion-plugins-main as the bug seems to be in the workarounds plugin.

The aplications in use at moment ocurred error: x-terminal, Downloader for X, Firefox, Nautilus and Synaptic.

compiz.real crashed when updating list of updates in updates manager. A crash report was uploaded, but i don't know where it went.

Compiz crashed several times a day for me when I installed Hardy a few days ago. That's how I found this bug. However, it has been updated a couple times since then. Compiz has not crashed at all today or yesterday. I currently have no real problems with hardy. I would like a more stable flash plugin, but that's a whole different issue. hardy is pretty much the same as Gutsy was.

I spoke too soon. it crashed again today. I was just using firefox as normal and it crashed. a crashed compiz really messed up my AWN.

I just wanted to say that I ve the same probleme with gusty as with Hardy...
I didn't in stall any extra packages for compiz on both system.
I've a HP pavillion dv9646 laptop

Crashes on startup, submitted the report.

Same behavior. It crashes on startup.

I got the same crash on startup and I submitted the report.

Same crash, same stacktrace. But it's not always on startup, though it's often just a bit after.

The applications in use when errors appears: Firefox, Nautilus

·Mine crashed while I was usin shift switcher (Covere mode)

Crashed when I opened Synaptic Package Manger and clicked cancel on the password prompt.

Crashed in Hardy when doing a mass-update.

Acutally i can confirm. After recovering from a standby or hibernate, it just crashes.

Compiz crashes whenever I'm doing anything related to package management here, or whenever I do anything related to the software repositories ...

the lastest update appears to have helped. Before that update, it crashed randomly, as evidenced by everyone else above. After the update, it has crashed for me twice, both times at the same time firefox crashed. We'll see how that goes. I wish i could get firefox to stop crashing.

also, since the last updates of compiz and AWN, awn comes right back up properly once compiz is restarted.

Crashed at start up after: was messing with screenlets then restarted - compiz crashed :(

im use firefox when crashed.

dont know if im writing in the right thread but, im on arch 32bit desktop on a update-manager -d, after updating to the new kernel today compiz crashed for a split second after login, and posted nautilus cant be used at the moment cause of a failure..... or something like that, running Hardy by the way, kernel 2.6.24-7-generic

Kind regards Michael( MikeDK on freenode)

I wanna share my observations relative to spontaneous compiz crashes.

1. This crash occurs only under conditions of hi load average and insufficient free RAM:

top - 18:45:56 up 1 day, 1:46, 4 users, load average: 6.41, 6.37, 4.32
Tasks: 140 total, 5 running, 135 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
Cpu(s): 19.4%us, 4.0%sy, 0.8%ni, 68.0%id, 7.1%wa, 0.3%hi, 0.6%si, 0.0%st
Mem: 515608k total, 506132k used, 9476k free, 7632k buffers
Swap: 2345436k total, 542644k used, 1802792k free, 119528k cached

2. Usually such conditions reached when many applications loaded, and I try to switch between them or start new big application (such as firefox or evolution)

3. Also I've mentioned that probability of a crash increases during installation of new packages (i.e. .deb packets being unpacked and installed). I suppose that working dpkg/aptitude consume much CPU/RAM in parallel with heavy input-output, which leads to abnormally hi load average

4. Before every crash the system becomes completely unresponsive for a few seconds. It also may occur because of hi load, but maybe compiz freezes just before crash?

Sorry for so many letters

Thank you for reporting that. You are not the first person to notice this, but you are the first to say so in this bug. Hardy has been under a much higher load all the time for me, just using firefox, flash, and compiz keeps this thinkpad r51 quite busy. Earlier versions of ubuntu ran just fine, usually the CPU was throttled down, and I got much longer battery life. Hardy needs to be updated everyday, even twice a day, which stresses it alot too. I first want the compuz fixed, than i hope they reduce resource usage. I won't be buying a new laptop until I really need it. I bought the thinkpad because they don't break, so it could be awhile.

Hi,
Im having a lot of hassle with hardy on regular PCs too. That-s
something we have to go through, On my laptop, its a toshiba, I'm
considering installing a separate home using a live CD and going back to
feisty.

I was forced to do that already. As my laptop is toshiba and Hardy still
doesn't support toshiba's touchpad. It was quite difficult to work with it
as at work I don't connect mouse.

Sincerelly,
Andrius Popovas

still confirmed.
on update completion via update-manager.
simultaneous crash with emerald.
gateway mt3422 . 8.04 x86_64 - 2.6.24-7

on the high load subject, my mt-3422 is a dual core 64bit system; crash is detected even if only one app is running (in this case update-manager itself).

I only had synaptic and the game Powermanga running when the crash occurred.

Very good) I'll try to reproduce the crash with only synaptic running.
My system is Sempron 2800+ with 512MB DDR400 and Radeon 9800 with single
monitor

compiz crash after update/restart
last updated 02.14.2008

happened to me with only synaptic running

here is a weird one. I load up a video in VLC, fine. I make it full screen, fine. I set it back to windowed mode, and it crashes instantly. when it's triggered this way, there is no crash report.
