Public bug reported: Binary package hint: compiz
I couldn't find any similar bugreport, although this issue was spotted before: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-624676.html I'm using fresh install of Hardy on Dell Latitude D630 with Intel 965. After selecting Visual effects -> Normal, system hangs for a liitle while, just to decide, that "effects could not be enabled". Underneath it launches whole bunch of compiz processes: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ps ax | grep compiz | wc -l 14961 This ofcourse slows down whole system. My guess is that it continues to spawn compiz until it reaches a memory limit - then suddenly screen is redrawn and compiz replaces metacity. Everything seems to work normally (set aside compiz performance on Intel chip), no crashes, but those processes are still running. For now I use 'killall compiz' to reduce $BIG_NUMBER to 2. ** Affects: compiz (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [hardy, intel 965] compiz launches multiple processess https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190173 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
