Could you please be a little more explicit about what you mean by "Compiz crashed"? What symptoms did you experience?
Also, you please give more details about "after going in to TTY"? Were you using an alternate virtual terminal (eg. control-alt-F2) or a terminal application on the desktop (eg. control-alt-T)? ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1334716 Title: FATAL ERROR: Unable to initialize display Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I went to the appearance settings by right-clicking on the desktop to change the visibility of the launcher, have set the sensitivity, exited after changes were made, after a few times of showing and hiding the launcher Compiz crashed and the display couldn't be restored not even after going into TTY and using "compiz --replace". compiz-core has shown what appeared to be a fatal error that it was unable to initialize the display, so the only option was to do a hard shutdown.
