[Bug 1462841] Re: window spread causes system logout
Got this bug after all mentioned events. Tried to fix using @jlsalbego solution, but just ended up causing kernel panic. (something like https://askubuntu.com/questions/822327/debugging-kernel-panic-not-syncing-attempted-to-kill-init) Since my filesystem remains intactm I'm trying to fix it now using a live usb to restore init. I don't recommend this solution, make sure you back up first if you're going to try it, don't make the same mistake i did.

Can not reproduce in 16.04.1, Unity 7.4.0, unity-tweak-tool 0.0.7ubuntu2, and from git master. Also verified as not reproducible by Oerheks on freenode, using unity- tweak-tool 0.0.7ubuntu2, Unity 7.4.0. If you can not upgrade from 14.04 for whatever reason, please use the workaround mentioned in #14. If the bug can be reproduced on 16.04 (or later), please report your unity version and graphics driver in use. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1462841 Title: window spread causes system logout To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1462841/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Disabling window spread in unity tweak tool doesnt prevent the crash when clicking in a launcher icon with multiple windows opened. This also triggers the window spread.

Workaround: 1) Open CompizConfig manager 2) Go to "Window manager" category 3) Enable "Static Application Switcher" 4) If asked to resolve conflicts mantain the actual values (option in the middle). 5) You will see unity restart and the window spread working again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1462841 Title: window spread causes system logout To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1462841/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thank you Rodrigo for your diagnostics and workaround. This is definitely a bug in Unity. Unity Tweak tool only manipulates the settings exposed by Unity.

I have the same issue. Would only like to add: - Changing settings in Unity Tweak Tool has the same effect (unwanted logout). This is not restricted to 'Window spread', i.e. happens when changing other settings, too (I tried 'Hotcorners' and 'Window snapping') - My Window Spread had worked OK for more than a year now.
