I think I found the root cause for the compiz-config-profile-setter
segfault. The call "ccsFreeContext(context);" in line 218 in
compiz_config_profile_setter.c frees the context object while background
event processing still uses the object, which then leads to the
segfault.

Had this issue, fixed by updating .config/compiz-1/compizconfig as in

Had the same issue (after an apt-get dist-upgrade after at least a month
since the last time I upgraded). Comment #5 solved the issue for me.
Surprisingly, I didn't even need to restart.

I also tried several of the solutions proposed here and in askubuntu, but only
# 20 worked for me.
Indeed, it is not necessary to delete the entire .config directory. Just move
the compiz subdirectory: '$ mv ~/.config/compiz-1 backup/'
Thanks everyone for your help.

Post #20 worked for me. Thanks Ruslan. Had to move important config
files back into .config later. Nothing else I tried worked after
searching forums for hours and trying their suggestions.
Why didn't Ubuntu issue an improvement to the offending software that it
provided in a routine update?
h,
steps/workarounds listed on:

was fixed by increasing VM Display setting ( Video Memory ) from 16MB to

Only doing `mv ~/.config ~/.config-BACK` fixed the issue for me.

@Marco, #5 did not work for me at first, but it did the later (?!?).
just be sure `profile = unity` just before you reboot, it did change
back on my machine.
What I also did: clean/delete ~/.cache directory.

The (mutually exclusive) solutions lowgfx.conf startup and profile =
unity in compizconfig/config did not work for me.
I tried what @8-mak tried and also a bunch more stuff (restart/reinstall
ubuntu-desktop and components).
Might be a different bug, but still appeared after the March updates.
Hi all,
I have this problem too but in
.config/compiz-1/compizconfig/config
i have
[general_ubuntu]
profile = unity
and i think i do not have proposal updates, but i'm not sure

At first solution 5 did not work for me. A prerequisite I guess is that
you have to remove lowgfx.conf file before, not just comment it out.
Otherwise any change in .config/compiz-1/compizconfig/config will be
overwritten back to profile = unity-lowgfx.
rm ~/.config/upstart/lowgfx.conf
sed -i
Post #5 worked for me too.

@robprije: your suggested workaround in your post #5 above has fixed the
problem for me. Thank you! I had the same symptoms on my workstation,

Unity not starting: compiz-config crashes on login
hi all,
I've the same problem, guest-user is okay, but my profile has the problem.
I
* moved my .config to backup
* upgraded everything (Upgrade: unity-control-center-faces:amd64
(15.04.0+16.04.20170214-0ubuntu2, 15.04.0+16.04.20171130-0ubuntu1),
unity-control-center:amd64
Guest session is also working here in default graphics mode, so it's
probably a regression that just occurs with a certain Compiz settings or
plugin.

I resolved the problem for myself.
I searched for compiz related files in my wife's home directory and
found .config/compiz-1/compizconfig/config
In there, she had a config resembling the following:
[general_ubuntu]
profile = unity-lowgfx
I, on the other hand, had a config like this:
I think I'm getting the same error
I have 2 accounts on this computer.
This morning my wife logged in to hers and immediately received the
error "Ubuntu 16.04 has experienced an internal error". It referenced
the executable path /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/unity/compiz-config-
profile-setter.
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
