I decided to run strace on compiz, and perhaps this is a clue. Here is an excerpt from the strace output just before the error:
8346 ioctl(5, 0xc010640b, 0xbfe94660) = 0 8346 ioctl(5, 0xc00c6469, 0xbfe94684) = 0 8346 ioctl(5, 0xc010640b, 0xbfe94660) = 0 8346 ioctl(5, 0xc00c6469, 0xbfe94684) = 0 8346 ioctl(5, 0xc010640b, 0xbfe94660) = 0 8346 ioctl(5, 0xc00c6469, 0xbfe94684) = 0 8346 ioctl(5, 0x40086409, 0xbfe94728) = 0 8346 ioctl(5, 0x40086409, 0xbfe94728) = 0 8346 ioctl(5, 0xc0206466, 0xa1d4174) = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory) 8346 write(2, "drmRadeonCmdBuffer: -12. Kernel "..., 101) = 101 So immediately before the error I am getting ENOMEM returned. FYI, fd 5 is /dev/dri/card0 -- compiz exits with radeon error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550850 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
