I am experiencing this error when I issue this command "compiz --replace
&":
compiz assert failure: *** Error in `compiz': double free or corruption (!In):
0x026562b0 ***
.proc.driver.nvidia.gpus.:01:00.0.
Error:[Error21] Is a directory: '/proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/:01:00.0.'
System info:
Ubuntu 16.04.2 with Linux Kernel 4.8.0-45-generic.
Nvidia driver 375.39
A background on why this command is used is given in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-
drivers-375/+bug/1667158.
Brief explanation, after the introduction of the new Nvidia driver
375.39, which is a long live version, all GUIs will show bad borders and
title/menu bars after waking up from suspend mode. For system based on
Ubuntu 16.04.2 with Linux Kernel 4.8.0-xx-generic, "compiz --replace &"
is so far the only command I found to be able to temporarily solve the
problem. However, after running the command, the above mentioned crash
report will be report by ubuntu-bug (apport). The Warnings and Error
appearing on my terminal is shown below.
$ compiz --replace &
