Public bug reported:
To whoever reading this, I assume that you are reading the below message
after seeing the auto generated bug report. I'm just explaining below
the scenario of how and when I got the error and how it got fixed. Till
date I'm not sure what caused this error in first place.
The details of the error:
I used to get this error every time I started the system.
Report error also used to fail. Ironically now report error is working when
there is no longer an error.
Coupled with this error one day my desktop user interface itself was not
working as compiz was not running.
I tried different solutions from many forums, community pages online.
But none has worked.
I had opened guest session out of curiosity to check if it works and it worked
perfectly.
Then I observed a differnce and made the below change in config file
~/.config/compiz-1/compizconfig/config
## FROM
profile = unity-lowgfx
## TO
profile = unity
Then after re-start it started working. No errors since then.
P.S. Ignore if the above doesn't make any sense or it is not related the
bug report.
