[Bug 239621] Re: Screensaver disables visual effects
I'd been running without any problems since Dec10 with the v190 drivers at the nVidia repo at http://ppa.launchpad.net/nvidia-vdpau/ppa/ubuntu. Today I came into work to find that the v190 drivers were available from an Ubuntu repository. I had them running for about two hours before I encountered the same problem again. I would have figured that Ubuntu was just repackaging the drivers from nVidia, but clearly something different is happening. -- Screensaver disables visual effects https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239621 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Maybe this bug should be changed to "Upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10 causes video hue setting to move all the way to the left (purple)"? -- Colors in totem, and any other movie player (vlc, mplayer) for different video formats (xvid, mp4) are distorted. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/447758 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gstreamer0.10 in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 239621] Re: Screensaver disables visual effects
Re: fallback manager: fair enough. Re: workspace switcher: If I switch back and forth manually, the workspace switcher geometry remains the same (3x3). Only when compiz crashes do I get the 9x1 geometry. Perhaps it is calling metacity as a fallback manager with a different configuration somehow? Actually, if I manually send a SIGSEGV to compiz.real, it doesn't change the geometry. Weird. I'm out of ideas. nVidia recently released a gold version of their v190 drivers, which I just upgraded to. Hopefully I won't see this problem again. -- Screensaver disables visual effects https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239621 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 239621] Re: Screensaver disables visual effects
Well, you could argue that a compiz crash shouldn't replace compiz with metacity, unless it's crashing immediately. Also, the geometry of the workspace switcher shouldn't change. -- Screensaver disables visual effects https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239621 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Unsurprisingly, it looks like the nvidia drivers are at fault: % dpkg-query -S /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 nvidia-glx-185: /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 -- Screensaver disables visual effects https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239621 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Oh, and I just stumbled across this data from dmesg: [432685.442663] plasma[12126]: segfault at 8 ip 7f9da5eb0583 sp 7fff78d30400 error 4 in libGLcore.so.185.18.36[7f9da53be000+dda000] and [486068.000875] compiz.real[8091]: segfault at 10 ip 7f35f8298f07 sp 7fffa4f817c8 error 4 in libGLcore.so.185.18.36[7f35f77a2000+dda000] plasma is the screensaver module I'm running, and it seems to segfault frequently. -- Screensaver disables visual effects https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239621 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I've noticed that when it happens now, the "None" button is selected. I don't know if something changed or if my earlier assertion about the radio buttons was just incorrect. -- Screensaver disables visual effects https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239621 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 239621] Re: Screensaver disables visual effects
I reopened the bug. I'd also like to add that when this happens, my workspace switcher changes geometry. I usually have it set up to have 3 rows and 3 columns. When the visual effects drop back to "none", it switches to 1 row and 9 columns. This doesn't happen when I change the visual effects myself. Also, if I change the geometry back before I change the effects setting, it flattens it again. It might also be important to note that the Appearances GUI doesn't show any of the three visual effects radio buttons as active when the "extra" effects are disabled. -- Screensaver disables visual effects https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239621 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 239621] Re: Screensaver disables visual effects
This bug affects me, though it's not 100% reproducible. It happens some times and not other times, with no apparent connection to length of screensaver activation, whether power saving kicks in, or anything else I can think of. Sometimes it happens after a few minutes, sometimes days of screensaver activation won't cause it. But I've never seen it happen without the screensaver being active. If this bug can be reopened, I'd be happy to provide whatever input I can. ** Changed in: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- Screensaver disables visual effects https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239621 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
