I worked around this in the following way: $ DISPLAY=:0.0 unity --replace
produced http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7736128/ Which led me to try to start bamfdaemon manually, $ /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/bamf/bamfdaemon This produced an error message saying that the shared library libgtop-2.0.so.7 could not be found. $ sudo ln -s libgtop-2.0.so.10 libgtop-2.0.so.7 Fixed the problem for me. Does the fault lie in the way bamfdaemon is built? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1336260 Title: compiz crashed with signal 5 in g_type_create_instance() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1336260/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
