Ok, would you be comfortable following these steps to obtain a stack trace for us?
Switch to tty1 (ctrl+alt+f1) attach to it with gdb $ sudo gdb --attach `pgrep compiz` at the gdb prompt $ set logging file compiz.txt $ set logging on $ bt (ctrl+d) to exit gdb now if you run $ export DISPLAY=:0 then $ metacity --replace and change back to tty7 (ctrl+alt+f7) you should have metacity running and can give us the file compiz.txt that should be in your homefolder containing the backtrace. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/728745 Title: display freeze when using unity desktop -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
