Daniel, Having experienced this bug in the past myself, I would be happy to collect more profiling data. Unfortunately I'm running your pre-proposed PPA at the moment for which it seems there are no debug symbols. I'll downgrade back to the stock package and install debug symbols as soon as I am able. I'm assuming the following packages will be sufficient (correct me if I have missed anything),
libunity-dev-dbgsym libnux-2.0-0-dbgsym compiz-core-dbgsym compiz-gnome- dbgsym compiz-plugins-dbgsym libgl1-mesa-dri-dbg libgl1-mesa-glx-dbg libnux-2.0-0-dbgsym and the appropriate kernel symbols (linux-image-3.2.0-23-generic-dbgsym in my case). If anyone is interested in trying this themselves, follow the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash, install the above packages, and try collecting another profile with Daniel's original instructions. Moreover, I don't think it should hurt to enable callgraph profiling (-g). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/803943 Title: compiz consuming a lot of cpu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/803943/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
