Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: compiz
Because compiz doesnt play nicely with other applications
(assumes sole ownership of direct rendering) when blender starts
this causes compiz to crash bringing down xwindows and all other
apps you have started from xwindows
to reproduce ensure desktop effects in System\Preferences\ (desktop effects
tab)
is set to extra effects, start Blender, xwindows will die
work round
select no effects in desktop effects tab, Blender and other opengl apps will
now work
version numbers are kind of an irrelevance here but so you dont have an excuse
to mark incomplete
and ignore this report
Blender 2.44 (sub 0) Build
compiz 0.5.2
NB this effects many more applications than Blender
** Affects: compiz (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
