Running an Acer Aspire 5332 with 16.04 pretty much a fresh install from last week.
The patch did fix the problem, eventually, but on the first boot none of the X clients connected to the display, so all I had was a mouse pointer. logged in via Alt-F1 console and ran an Xterm with :0 DISPLAY env var, but that didn't connect (although it showed no errors on stderr). Then rebooted once more, and it all started working OK. So - if it doesn't work first time, you might want to try another reboot. P.S. love all the "dependency" problems above - NOT - oh for the good old days where libraries had fixed API's and you could mix and match different version. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1735594 Title: [regression] compiz crashes after Mesa upgrade Status in mesa package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in mesa source package in Xenial: Fix Committed Status in mesa source package in Artful: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] When I use the Unity session I automatically get logged out under these conditions: When I hover with my mouse over any icon of the sidebar. When I press the alt key. When I press the super key. running dmesg after this unwanted logout happens I get following information: compiz[10616]: segfault at 0 ip 00007fbca309feeb sp 00007fff5f59a4d0 error 4 in i965_dri.so[7fbca2af6000+7e4000] This is caused by a mesa upgrade, which added a patch for bug #1727401. The crasher is reproduced on: - gen4 / gen5 Intel - if using modesetting X driver, like when xserver-xorg-video-intel is not installed, or the HWE stack is installed (xserver-xorg-core-hwe-16.04 defaults to modesetting) [Test case] Log in to Unity, open the dash or try to log out etc. Compiz shouldn't crash. [Regression potential] The backported patches need to be tested, here for regressions and on 1727401 that they fix the original bug (again). Best to test on a wide array of Intel HW: gen4 (965GM/GM45/G45) gen5 (Ironlake) gen6 (Sandy Bridge) gen7 (Bay Trail, Ivy Bridge, Haswell) gen8 (Braswell, Broadwell) gen9 (Apollo Lake, Skylake, Gemini Lake, Kaby Lake, Coffee Lake) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1735594/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
