Good news, well I hope so... I wanted to use nvidia-settings to tune antialiasing parameters, and I realized that compiz does some pretty nasty manipulations of displays when used in combination with Xgl (It runs on display :2.0 or :3.0. It seems that the nvidia driver can only access display :0.0, so the nvidia-settings program complained that I didn't have the nvidia driver...)
Never mind, I uninstalled package xserver-xgl, rebooted, and now it seems that I don't get this stupid crash anymore (I had to really reboot to get rid of the bug. Logging out was not sufficient appearantly). Of course, I can't tell for sure this is a 100% working workaround, but I really tried a high number of times (40? 50?) and still no crash. @all: Could you do the same manipulation i.e. removing xserver-xgl, reboot, and retry. This could help spotting the problem. As a side effect, compiz works perfectly without xgl. Why do I have this installed ?? Good question. Maybe it's a heritage from previous ubuntu versions where xgl was needed to run Beryl and co. -- compiz crashes randomly when using a Qt OpenGL Widget https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204238 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
