Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is either missing or challenging to deal with as a .crash file. Please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer. If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable apport in /etc/default/apport and restart. Now open your file manager, navigate to your /var/crash directory and open the crash report you wish to submit. If this fails you will have to open a terminal and file your report with 'ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash' where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report. If you get an error that you aren't allowed to access this report you will have to file it with 'sudo ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash'. I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding. ** Changed in: unity Status: New = Invalid ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: New = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/779681 Title: Unity fails and crashes X when second display connected -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Is there at least a duplicate of this bug that's being worked on? The bug is very real, as can be seen from many reports across the internet. The bug is also very serious. Also, I'm pretty certain that almost anyone can reproduce this bug by just plugging in an external monitor. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/779681 Title: Unity fails and crashes X when second display connected -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 779681] Re: Unity fails and crashes X when second display connected

@Omer: Closing this bug prematurely is *almost* enough to convince me to switch back to Debian. Please don't do that; you've assumed that a duplicate will be created; you've assumed that this failure *does* generate a crash report (it does not, at least for me, with the apport setting enabled), and you've insulted all of us by insinuating that our time is less valuable than yours. As Anderic pointed out; this is trivial to reproduce - every user I know with Intel video (~6 people that I'm aware of) have given up and switched back to classic mode or other distros because of this bug. Most thinkpads have this problem, and it's easy to see the visual glitches by plugging in a monitor. In my experience, it does not *always* cause the machine to crash irrevocably - I've spent the last 30-45 min trying to get a crash file without success (it only went unresponsive once, and I was able to get to a VT to restart cleanly). I've attached some screenshots that show the visual glitches I'm experiencing, at two different monitor orientations. ** Attachment added: multi-head visual glitches https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/779681/+attachment/2161038/+files/unity-screens-1.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/779681 Title: Unity fails and crashes X when second display connected -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 779681] Re: Unity fails and crashes X when second display connected
actually the mistake is on my part. As i was closing the reported crashers with the term 'crash' in them and no logs attached this one mistakenly got closed. Its not a crash but the description made me thing if it was a crash :) ** Changed in: unity Status: Invalid = New ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid = New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/779681 Title: Unity fails and crashes X when second display connected -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'll reproduce this as soon as I can and see if I get a crash file.
