Alejandro, That's a separate bug, not caused by Emerald. There are other issues where windows don't respond when they have been minimized. You have to shade them to the titlebar and restore them to fix window mapping for it. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/754065 for it.

Hi, as for others default emerald was segfaulting on by xubuntu 11.04/64, now usig malteworld's PPA runs.

I found a pre-compiled version of Emerald for Debian SID. Version 0.8.4. Here is the 64 bit version: http://frickelplatz.de/debian/dists/sid/main/binary-amd64/x11/ This is the 32 bit one: http://frickelplatz.de/debian/dists/sid/main/binary-i386/x11/ Don't forget the libraries in the libs folder. Unfortunately, this one also segfaults. Seems like we really need 0.8.8.

[Bug 733393] Re: emerald segfault on launch
I really wonder why Canonical provide such an old version of Emerald with Ubuntu. Version 0.7.2 was released in 2009, 2 years ago. Just recently, there was version 0.8.8 released. How come they update only some software and keep the rest out-dated which cause problems like these? They have only two minor builds of Emerald since Hardy, which is IMO more like a compile against newer libraries Emerald depends on. Please Canonical, update Emerald from upstream to fix this problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/733393 Title: emerald segfault on launch -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 733393] Re: emerald segfault on launch
If you want emerald updated even though Canonical doesn't care, you can download the old package, download the new source, work on making a new package, and upload it to a PPA which Canonical will give you for free. I did this to Micropolis and shortly thereafter it appeared in the repos as if by coincidence. I propose that you do the same instead of complaining. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/733393 Title: emerald segfault on launch -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 733393] Re: emerald segfault on launch
I'm no package maintainer, nor a developer. It would take me 100 times more time to learn how to create packages and add them to a ppa than for the current maintainer to get the latest upstream version and build that. I know this is the strength of open source, but you can't ask every single user to know how to build packages and such. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/733393 Title: emerald segfault on launch -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 733393] Re: emerald segfault on launch
Final release has the same problem. It is NOT a unity issue, because XUbuntu does not have Unity (and I certainly didn't install it when upgrading from 10.10). This error prevents me from using Compiz, because on Xfce, you either have your own Window Decorator like Emerald if you use Compiz, or it uses it's own when using xfwm4. I think I'll grab and install the Maverick version of Emerald to see if that fixes things. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/733393 Title: emerald segfault on launch -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
