I'm browsing through launchpad looking for solution for my exact same problem. This: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1242115 has been marked as duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1292830 And as I already posted: I use Ubuntu 16.04 x64 with KDE instead of Unity, and this issue happens here as well, so in my opinion it shouldn't be linked to just unity or unity at all. (per first link above) nor it should be linked to nvidia. I don't use nVidia.

[Compiz] [Bug 1072206] Re: [nvidia] Window content is black or transparent
I seem to be reproducing this bug or similar on Ubuntu 14.04, using gnome-panel (gnome classic) + compiz, gtx 600 (driver: nvidia-352.63). The comments in #80 and #79 hit close to home. I can reproduce it easily by running 'mplayer video' and pressing alt- tab. This renders compiz unusable and cpu usage for compiz goes to 100% usage and stays as such until killed. Occasionally compiz will crash instead of hanging, but I think there may be some specific interactions/key presses, part of my futile attempts at recovering the session while not fully unusable (even if it's already going berzerk by then) that causes it to end up crashing rather than hanging. FWIW, I've Attached gdb backtrace of all threads. I also recorded the perf events for compiz after reproducing the issue using mplayer. Alternatively, I have noticed that this started to happen more frequently when I began to use more than one firefox window open (I don't think tab count matters much as I've always been a tab hoarder and I have reduced substantially now). I did experience similar behavior with flash based multimedia content in full screen and alt-tab to switch back to the browser. It does not reproduce easily tough. This behavior started to be noticed about 3 months ago (could be less, could be more, I can't be any more precise, I'm afraid) Would be great to root cause it and I am happy to help. ** Attachment added: "gdb backtrace of compiz" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1072206/+attachment/4547182/+files/compiz-100pc-cpu.txt -- 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/1072206 Title: [nvidia] Window content is black or transparent To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1072206/+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
Re: [Compiz] [Bug 1072206] Re: [nvidia] Window content is black or transparent
I'm now running Ubuntu 15.10. GeForce 9400GT with drivers 304. After the upgrade to 15.10 my graphics performance declined, so I attempted to purge the 304 drivers and move to 355 but I experienced a login loop. Purged those and tried 352 with the same results, so I went back to drivers 304. It seems (so far) that the purge and reinstall solved some of my performance issues, but I still get the random black squares where content should be. I will try to capture it with my cellphone camera when it happens again and submit it. On Thu, Nov 5, 2015 at 12:05 PM Edwin Hoogerbeets wrote: > Still seeing it as well, very frequently.

[Compiz] [Bug 1072206] Re: [nvidia] Window content is black or transparent
We at NVIDIA have investigated the problem and found out that it is an application bug. Our interpretation of the specification is that creating two GLX pixmaps pointing at the same drawable is not allowed, because it can lead to poorly defined behavior if the properties of both GLX drawables don't match. Our driver prevents this, but Compiz appears to try to do this. Tracing the calls done by Compiz shows that in certain cases (subject to a potential race condition on the minimize animation, more reliably happening on unminimize), it will obtain an X pixmap through XCompositeNameWindowPixmap(), then call glXCreatePixmap() and use the created GLX pixmap normally, but never call glXDestroyPixmap() on it. Subsequently, it will call XCompositeNameWindowPixmap() again, while the window's pixmap hasn't changed. This isn't a bug by itself, but subsequently calling glXCreatePixmap() will fail because there already is a GLX pixmap pointing at the drawable (the one that wasn't deleted before).

[Compiz] [Bug 1072206] Re: [nvidia] Window content is black or transparent
I have not noticed this in Ubuntu 14.04.1 until now because I had previous been using Openbox (LXDE Desktop Environment), but after switching back to Unity I noticed this. I haven't seen any issues prior with any OpenGL programs under the LXDE Desktop Environment nor so far any artifacts/glitches in OpenGL software on Unity. In my case it has nothing to do with Video memory (only about 23% used, hovering at about 9% GPU Utilization), as far as I can tell, this is not an NVIDIA bug, but a compiz bug.

[Compiz] [Bug 1072206] Re: [nvidia] Window content is black or transparent
@navidR Turning off animation conserves large amounts of memory, but after opening about 50 (can't remember the exact figure) windows on a 3200x1200 dual head machine (which is not uncommon for me given my work pattern) on a 320MB video card the problem still comes back for me. As far as my extensive tests concluded, there is nothing you can turn off in compiz that fixes the problem. A particular choice of settings may reduce the memory loading and so push the problem beyonda persons practical use limit so they don't bump into the problem in normal circumstances, but the problem is still there at the same memory threshold. The following test shows it to be a memory issue: Open windows until the problem appears. Now close windows until the problem goes away. Open one more window. As you vary the size of that window you will find a window size that is at the threshold of the problem. Make the window bigger and black windowing occurs. Reduce the window size, the problem disappears. This, or related problems has been a known issue for many many years. Back in 2006-7, this or similar bug existed, known as the NVIDIA Black Window Bug, though whether the bug was actually a NVidia one or a compiz one was in question. The workaround was to change the direct rendering options that existed in compiz at the time. It was suggested that the NVIDIA Driver 100.14.19 fixed it. Maybe it did. If it did the bug, or a similar one was reintroduced at some stage, or something was never properly fixed. I don't know. But it is clear that this bug, at least as I am experiencing it, is memory related. -- 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/1072206 Title: [nvidia] Window content is black or transparent To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1072206/+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

navidR: This does not, in fact, remove the problem. If you open enough windows it will come back.

simple solution is this : set variable minimize-fast-duration and minimize-slow-duration to both to 1. then its should gone . but this is is simple hack . not true fix. for reproducing this bug I notice when you minimize a window "IF" focus remain unchanged between animation . then the window become dark . try this . set duration for both fast and slow to big number . try minimize/unminimize when animation not finished . then you should see a dark window . ( I suggest gnome-monitor for trying this ) . when you set animation duration to 1 or 0 then animation is so fast user cannot unminimze during animation.

When using a Java (swing) application called Jdownloader, whenever it opens a new window or dialogue box, it will be transparent with only the window border showing the first time it is displayed. If I close it and open the same dialogue again, I can see the window contents. Also, if I maximise the window, I can see some of the contents, but they are entirely distorted and unusable. Disabling the Animations plugin has no effect.

[Compiz] [Bug 1072206] Re: [nvidia] Window content is black or transparent
Experiencing a variation of this bug since the update to 13.10. Slightly different visual bug: the windows are not necessarily blacked out, most of the time they got filled with some crappy, iconish buggy content. See screenshot attached. It happens once in while, mostly on Filezilla, Kate and Chromium. When happening it generally propagates randomly to other active windows. I've tested a bunch of NVidia drivers for my GeForce 6150SE nForce 430, current running driver 304. ** Attachment added: "Capture du 2013-12-19 11:17:31.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1072206/+attachment/3932491/+files/Capture%20du%202013-12-19%2011%3A17%3A31.png -- 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/1072206 Title: [nvidia] Window content is black or transparent To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1072206/+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 1072206] Re: [nvidia] Window content is black or transparent
I am unconvinced by the workarounds suggested for this bug. I have recreated this in all situations: it is related to nvidia card memory size. Whatever workaround you try I suspect if you keep opening new windows you will get the bug eventually (I do). Its easier to recreate on a dual head machine or high resolution system. Swapping the nvidia card for one with a larger memory also means you can open more windows until the problem occurs. But it always occurs eventually. As I generally operate with 50 or more windows open, I don't have much trouble recreating this. Also over time, the number of windows required to be open for the bug to appear reduces, which suggests a memory leak somewhere. -- 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/1072206 Title: [nvidia] Window content is black or transparent To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1072206/+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 1072206] Re: [nvidia] Window content is black or transparent
This happens to me on 13.04, at random, when trying to focus a new window. Randomly clicking other windows will eventually solve the problem, but usually makes a few others black and/or transparent first, so it usually takes a number of clicks to eliminate the symptoms completely. I have also noticed that some windows appear without the top button bar of the window for a while in conjunction with this problem. -- 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/1072206 Title: [nvidia] Window content is black or transparent To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1072206/+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
