[Compiz] [Bug 729979] Re: [nvidia] Windows appear blank white
Same here: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M, using 331.38 drivers. The only change from 12.04 is that windows are now black -they used to be white. The very least would be to assign someone to work on this bug. There's no chance that it will be fixed if no one works on it... -- 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/729979 Title: [nvidia] Windows appear blank white To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/729979/+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
[Compiz] [Bug 729979] Re: [nvidia] Windows appear blank white
I just don't know what happened, but the bug is gone from my computer. I had stopped to use compiz (and unity) for a while, because of it. So, it's almost by chance that I logged into a unity session today. And the bug was gone ! I cannot tell which update did the trick, but one must have done it, I'd say in the last fortnight. -- 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/729979 Title: [nvidia] Windows appear blank white To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/729979/+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
[Compiz] [Bug 729979] Re: [nvidia] Windows appear blank white
Just a quick remark about the Nvidia/non Nvidia bug issue. Smspillaz, before leaving the compiz project, has written a long post about dealing with proprietary graphic drivers (meaning NVIDIA). He mentionned this bug in it. Here is what he wrote : In addition to that, we’re fighting lots of strange quirks where texture binding is randomly failing. http://smspillaz.wordpress.com/2012/06/08/on-the-future-of-graphics- drivers/ So the compiz guys are aware of the bug. And they consider it Nvidia related. But the main point of his post was to say he didn't like to write hack to solve that kind of problem. Anyway, either they don't work hard enough on it, or it's just not solvable, they haven't found that hack. And one of the basic functionnalities of unity is not working properly on lots of computer, as Nvidia drivers are pervasive. -- 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/729979 Title: [nvidia] Windows appear blank white To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/729979/+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

[Compiz] [Bug 729979] Re: [nvidia] Windows appear blank white
Not for 12.04 at least. I've tried different drivers, and settled on 310.14, because it seems to increase the overall performance, but it has no effect on the bug. By the way, the bug is mainly Nvidia related, but it looks like its a more profound issue. I've noticed this on my other laptop (with an intel HD graphics card, no Nvidia, 12.04 and compiz 9.7.8) : when I reproduce the steps to get the bug, I have noticed that the minimized windows appears to be white in spread view. It's not when I maximize it again (hence the bug is not there), but it is white in spread view. A lesser variant of the bug, so to speak. I really wonder how such a bug can be around for so long. -- 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/729979 Title: [nvidia] Windows appear blank white To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/729979/+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

@Matthias. You can get it through ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa or through Nvidia, by downloading a nvidia.run driver. (http://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-uk) That's the way I did it for 12.04. -- 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/729979 Title: [nvidia] Windows appear blank white To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/729979/+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
[Compiz] [Bug 729979] Re: [nvidia] Windows appear blank white
Too bad for me, because I've spent quite some time adjusting 12.04 to my needs. That's the reason I had chosen 12.04 rather than 12.10 for an update: to have a dependable release that I could keep for a while. As 12.04 is LTS, I thought that kind of bug would be fixed even after a new release. But thanks for the info. -- 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/729979 Title: [nvidia] Windows appear blank white To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/729979/+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
[Compiz] [Bug 729979] Re: [nvidia] Windows appear blank white
I have this very annoying bug since I've upgraded to 12.04 from 11.04. I have a Nvidia GTX 460 m and i'm using Compiz 0.9.7.8. To sump up what I've found : 1) to reproduce the bug. You have to : a) minimize a window b) use spread view (super + W) and go back to normal c) maximize the window previously minimized 2) to workaround the bug a) an instant fix is to change the size of the blank window, even slightly b) there's two permanent fixes, both through Compiz Config Setting Manager. α) The first one is, in CCSM, to go to animations, and there to change minimize animationfrom zoom to none (and to make sure that focus animation is set to none or N/A). β) The second one is, in CCSM, to unclick Windows Decoration. They are only workarounds, as they imply to make do without either animations when maximizing/minimizing windows or decoration on windows (which is quite useful...). I'd like to suggest that it's quite about time to find a proper solution to a bug that's been around for nearly two years and three releases of Ubuntu, and that affects potentialy anyone with a Nvidia card (that's a lot of people) and that impairs a basic functionality of unity. -- 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/729979 Title: [nvidia] Windows appear blank white To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/729979/+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
