Uninstalling xserver-xgl is not a solution. Without Xgl server (running on nVidia drivers only) Compiz is unstable, Emerald leaks memory as hell - this renders Compiz desktop unusable. You may search launchpad for related bugreports. This is related to buggy off-card texture storage. Nvidia drivers are broken and push testures to system memory, but never frees it back. The more on-card memory you have, the longer it takes this bug to hit you, but it will hit you. So, you cannot count on a stable system with nVidia texture-from-pixmap implementation + Compiz.
So far, the solution was to install xserver-xgl. This gives very fast and stable Compiz desktop. With this regression, one cannot have stable Compiz desktop on nVidia cards. You will have many complaints by Gutsy->Hardy adopters if you do not fix this. So far the overral Hardy experience for me was a major upgrade from havily broken Gutsy and Feisty. This regression makes Hardy yet another Ubuntu release that breaks things that worked fine before... -- error starting GNOME Settings Daemon https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/199960 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
