Hi Ryan, Thanks for the quick reply. I indeed have a GeForce 6150SE so bug 1404015 could be a match in my case. I will upgrade to the latest version of compiz in trusty-updates, disable x11-sync, and report back.
The question I'd have is how to explain that going back to the previous compiz version in trusty-updates makes everything work again, with no other changes. Perhaps the new compiz stresses more the driver or exercises the "x11-sync" path? I also tried nouveau after I upgraded to the latest compiz in trusty- updates and the machine became unusable, but I also experienced freezes. Perhaps that is due to bug 1181902 so that's something else I can try. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1424013 Title: Compiz high CPU and UI freeze on NVIDIA after fix for #269904 in trusty-updates To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1424013/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
