[Bug 1632197] Re: display freezes after recent apt update/upgrade
I Fixxed it! I found that turning off Framebuffer Object in the OpenGL plugin returned compiz back to full functionallity... Can even run Emerald window decorator without stability issues! Lionel, can you check to see if this works for you? If it does then the bug may be plugin specific! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1632197 Title: display freezes after recent apt update/upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1632197/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1632197] Re: display freezes after recent apt update/upgrade
I was going to open up a bug report of a similar nature, but it may be this same issue. If someone can confirm this to be the same bug, I would appreciate it. Otherwise, I will open a new bug report. If this is the same bug, then we will know it is not Unity specific as well, since I am running Mint XFCE w/compiz. Whenever I plugin my hdmi and alter the display to use the new screen I lose both displays (But I retain keyboard control and can log back out to LightDM with ctrl+alt+backspace). I tested and this bug will still happen w/no plugins enabled, and only happens with compiz. If I use xfwm4+composting, the display changes as it should (quickly and without errors). Let me know any information you may need. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1632197 Title: display freezes after recent apt update/upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1632197/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Don't know if this is very enlightening, but I booted up the recently released Ubuntu 16.10... downloaded the iso, copied to usb flash, booted live... same problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1632197 Title: display freezes after recent apt update/upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1632197/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1632197] Re: display freezes after recent apt update/upgrade
An update on the symptoms... Two new manifestations of note: 1) After trying briefly to get the display to freeze by dragging windows on the desktop, and believing that I had failed, I tried switching to a virtual terminal, only to find them all dead (blank screen and unresponsive). When I tried to return to the desktop display, I found that it was frozen except for mouse pointer movement. 2) After working on the desktop for several hours with just one incidence of freezing/reboot, I again attempted to switch to a virtual terminal, to find the screen as I had left it earlier (logged in and grepping a log file), but unresponsive to the keyboard. I tried a number of obvious keyboard sequences and random pecking to no avail, then switched back to the desktop display to find that much of that keyboard input somehow made it to an xterm on the desktop. In other words, on switching to the vt, the keyboard input remained with the desktop. This is all looking very much like a problem with the xserver, but then... Thinking that I would try dragging some windows between workspaces, I hit +s to bring up the workspace switcher, only to find to my amazement that the workspace grid had undergone a vertical rotation. Is this a bug or a feature? With all the random keyboard pecking that had been erroneously fed to the desktop, had I stumbled upon an undocumented "feature" which we shall call workspace grid rotation? If the answer is "no", then unity has a serious problem. If the answer is "yes", then I think there is probably enough evidence to blame the xserver for the other reported problems. This is reaching the point that I am needing to back out of the xserver/compiz/unity upgrade to get back to a stable system. I'll back out one package (or meta-package) at a time, test for stability, and keep going until stability is achieved, and will let you know how it goes. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1632197 Title: display freezes after recent apt update/upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1632197/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
