[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1755188] [NEW] system freeze after update
Public bug reported: On legacy NVDIA machine, after CCSM update 28 Feb 2018, system would freeze with either soft-boot or hard-boot required. If able to switch to console/terminal, and run "TOP", the table showed COMPIZ maxing out at 100%. As a workaround, I had to : 1. switch to lowgfx under "preferences" in CCSM 2. under OpenGL, switched off a. SynctoVblank" b. "Framebuffer object" c. "Vertex buffer object" and d. "Always use buffer swapping" 3. under Composite, set refresh rate at higher values, settling on 89 Running nouveau driver, and firmware update. The system freeze was most likely using LibreOffice5 (latest stable version).

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1752377] [NEW] CompizConfig maxxing out 100% CPU
Public bug reported: Very difficult filing this report, as system almost unusable since latest CompizConfigSysMgr update. Monitoring with TOP, Compiz hogs resources, at 100% or even 106%, sometimes relinquishing resources after 2 or 3 minutes lag. If Kill command for Compiz PID, then sometimes Compiz will recover, more likely, Compiz freezes whole system, requiring reboot e.g. from terminal. Lag in compiz confirmed using different software: LibreOffice 5, LibreOffice 6, Firefox Many complains about CompizConfig update on AskUbuntu: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1010634/ubuntu-16-04-compiz-uses-way-too-much-cpu https://askubuntu.com/questions/1006621/2-15-18-compiz-update-broke-unity https://askubuntu.com/questions/1010038/unity-top-bar-and-launcher-disappeared-feb-24-2018 Tried switch to LOWGFX mode, but problem with Compiz persists.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1625873] Re: display issues - dashboard unstable
Switched to "low graphics" mode in Unity (as explained below), but problem with Ubuntu Dashboard is worse in some respects. Installed "Compiz Configuration Settings Manager" > Preferences > Profile: select "unity-lowgfx". The screen seems to respond immediately to the changed setting, The screen "blinked" ever so briefly as the graphical effects were reduced or disabled. For good measure, also in "Compiz Configuration Settings Manager" > click on "Ubuntu Unity Plugin" icon > under "General" tab scroll down to "Enable Low Graphics Mode" > check the box. (When I made the above changes, and tried to use the Dash, a couple of problems arose immediately: 1. launcher icons in left column were all temporarily blurred out (or written over) and disabled (unusable); 2. the mouse pointer turned into a square; 3. the system froze, requiring soft reboot using FN+ALT+SYSRQ+REISUB. Upon reboot, launcher icons back to normal, pointer back to normal, but Dashboard behavior has NOT improved.) Dashboard still showing some garbage output, when I put in search terms. Again, my legacy laptop's display problem is not really solved yet. I'm considering scrubbing Compiz 3-D windows compositor (purging the package) and reverting to Metacity 2-D windows compositor (replacing the one with the other). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1625873 Title: display issues - dashboard unstable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1625873/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1625873] Re: display issues - dashboard unstable
Okay, I enabled the "Processor microcode firmware for AMD CPUs from amd64-microcode (proprietary)" and performance has improved somewhat, for both the Dashboard and streaming video playback (both embedded video and fullscreen video). Dashboard still showing some garbage output, when I put in search terms, and the display does not tidy up after showing me the relevant icons; but searched icons do appear and Dashboard is usable.
