Public bug reported: Binary package hint: compiz-fusion-plugins-extra
I have a Dell XPS M1710 laptop with an NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GS running mostly Gutsy, but with the Kernel/Compiz/X/NVIDIA packages installed from Hardy. If I enable the Group and Tab Windows plugin and create more than one group, then the desktop will hang the next time that I do certain actions. For example, switching workspaces triggers it, as does switching windows with the Shift Switcher. It does not happen if I create only one group. The hang is characterized by: - No updates to the screen - No response to key presses or mouse clicks (though the pointer still moves and Ctrl+Alt+Fn still works for switching virtual terminals) - compiz.real and Xorg run hot (i.e., take ~20-30% CPU each on my machine) - compiz.real does not respond to kill -15 and must be kill -9'ed - After killing compiz.real, Xorg takes 100% CPU and must be killed too $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 7.10 Release: 7.10 $ apt-cache policy compiz-fusion-plugins-extra compiz-fusion-plugins-extra: Installed: 0.7.4-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 0.7.4-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 0.7.4-0ubuntu1 0 -1 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 0.6.0+git20071121-0ubuntu1~gutsy1 0 500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy-backports/main Packages 0.5.2+git20070928-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy/main Packages ** Affects: compiz-fusion-plugins-extra (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [Hardy] [Compiz] Using "Group and Tab Windows" with more than one group causes hangs/freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219808 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
