A little more on that error popup. It's from GoldenDict and tehy've been aware of Record being broken for sometime now, although from 2009 (so this might not be applicable or it might indicate a regression): https://github.com/gennady/goldendict/commit/230ab47891283216d3abd43fbb66b8f27125ec1b There is a fix noted in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=120240 that suggests increasing nproc limits to 1500 (hard). I haven't tried this as I'm not sure what nproc to change. I have various nprocs with low figures listed in/etc/security/limits.conf and I don't know which one to edit, student, faculty or ftp (I doubt it would be this ftp). In any case, I doubt changing the limits would help considering that the Gnome shell doesn't crash using the same file limits file. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/72 Title: Unity 3D desktop crashes in Oneiric using ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/72/+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 888872] Re: Unity 3D desktop crashes in Oneiric using ATI Mobility Radeon X1600
I found and tried out a fix and made up my own version of it. I noticed that Xorg.0.log.old gave the following. Segmentation fault at address 0xb6211008 Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting Googling for Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting shows that Archlinux has had this issue too (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=119442). Based on that, the following work-around works for me. Create /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-modules.conf with the following content. Section Module Disable record EndSection Otherwise (my way) Log out, then from a tty, kill lightdm, and issue sudo Xorg -configure or sudo X -configure. In the resulting xorg.conf, make sure to Disable record rather than just comment the line out. Copy it to /etc/X11/ Restart lightdm Log into X (although it didn't take for me till I logged out and back into X yet again, so you may just want to reboot). The result: no more crashes and X seems a little more responsive, although this may be in my mind. There's an error pop up at the start of the X session about the record function not working, but that is expected. So I assume that may the the problematic software. I also noticed that Xorg.0.log and other logs give me the following error. (EE) Failed to load module fglrx (module does not exist, 0) I thought it might be unimportant if it weren't for a segmentation fault linked to fglrx reported at http://phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?22972-Ubuntu-10.04-fglrx-seg- fault. I'll write it up as a separate bug, anyway since Ubuntu borked my fglrx install . So how's that for incomplete? A workaround and potential sources of the bug are ID'd. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/72 Title: Unity 3D desktop crashes in Oneiric using ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/72/+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

if its a crash you should look into /var/crash directory and look for the file including the name 'compiz' in it, double click it and follow the onscreen instructions to report a new crash report which hopefully will have logs about the crash and could possible turn out to be a duplicate of an already reported crash report. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete ** Changed in: unity Status: New = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/72 Title: Unity 3D desktop crashes in Oneiric using ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/72/+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

@Chascon Huh, it's possible that's related, but to be honest I just don't know enough about the affected systems to determine if those two issues are related, I'm just a bug triager. Feel free to open another report regarding the problem with installing DRI drivers and mention this bug, and hopefully someone more informed can make the determination as to whether these two problems are related.

@ Phil. V (philip.v) I found that LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo reports some errors: libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/tls/r300_dri.so libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/r300_dri.so libGL: Can't open configuration file /etc/drirc: No such file or directory. libGL: Can't open configuration file /home/user/.drirc: No such file or directory. libGL: Can't open configuration file /etc/drirc: No such file or directory. libGL: Can't open configuration file /home/user/.drirc: No such file or directory. I did some digging around and found that http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/glxinfo mentions Surrounding these lines there may be additional messages indicating errors. In particular, if the driver is not found in the mentioned path, OpenGL will try to fall back to the software renderer called swrast_dri.so. This is an indication that the DRI drivers are not installed correctly. So it seems, although I don't know if it's related to the problem at hand, Ubuntu has a problem correctly installing DRI drivers. If it's not related I could open a bug on the matter. glxinfo | grep render direct rendering: Yes OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on ATI RV530 GL_NV_conditional_render, GL_ARB_draw_elements_base_vertex, uname -r 3.0.0-13-generic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/72 Title: Unity 3D desktop crashes in Oneiric using ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/72/+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

It's strange that this problem only manifests itself in a Unity 3d session, yes. However this fits the description of an X problem as described in the Wiki quite well, so I still think we should keep a report against xorg open. When the Unity maintainers get around to looking at this report they can make a final decision regarding what is at fault. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/72 Title: Unity 3D desktop crashes in Oneiric using ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/72/+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 888872] Re: Unity 3D desktop crashes in Oneiric using ATI Mobility Radeon X1600
apport information ** Tags added: apport-collected oneiric regression-update ubuntu ** Description changed: Summary: Unity 3D desktop crashes in Oneiric using ATI Mbility Radeon X1600 Problem: There doesn't seem to be rhyme or reason to this, be it having Firefox running, opening a link in Chromium to open in a new tab or watching a .flv video clip, using the subcontextual menus of Thunderbird, or watching videos in Totem. The desktop crashes bringing one to the login screen. Sometimes the desktop crashes as it's appearing. The last thing one sees is a black screen with text, and something about Pulseaudio, but I'm not sure it's an error as I see no red text (just white), and there's no time to read it before the login screen appears. Steps to reproduce: Login using Unity 3d. Use your system. Results The desktop crashes Login screen appears Expected results: No crashes. Comments: At one point I thought the problem was due to indicator-weather, but I removed it, and although crashes became less frequent, they increased drastically two days ago (after updating). This behaviour was non-existent in Natty. I went a whole day without this behaviour by logging in using Unity 2D, and went along using all the above apps to no crashes. I noticed there is a history of problems with Radeon video drivers, but they didn't describe this type of crash, and they seemed to be fixed in Natty, which makes me think it might not be a regression. The only other issue I can think of that might be related is that turning compiz plugins on and off (Widgets Layer, and Zoom Desktop), presumably the non-default one, crashes Unity. I looked into it and sources say that this could be an issue with my video card, which I find outrageous considering it's only a few years old (well within the 5 year margin for compiz support), which points to a faulty driver and/or lack of proper driver support. System Info lists my graphics support as Gallium 0.4 on ATI RV530. I found that odd. Wikipedia says that the my video card, although based on the RV530, is NOT the ATI RV530. So, I don't know if it's a matter of the wrong driver being assigned and there's no longer a Xorg.conf file to check, so I'm at a loss.

To avoid confusion, allow me to clarify ... The possible X bug, NOT the focus of this bug report, occurs while logging out, shutting down, or rebooting.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 888872] Re: Unity 3D desktop crashes in Oneiric using ATI Mobility Radeon X1600
I was hoping that the new compiz upgrade would have taken care of the issue I'm describing, but it doesn't. I don't think it's an X11 issue or else I'd have the same problem with 2d Unity and certainly with Gnome shell or any of the other Gnome desktops (3D or 3D). From my testing, mostly Gnome shell, it's not an issue on any of the Gnome environments. So it stands to reason the problem is with the Unity plugin itself. The only possible sign of an X issue is when logging out, my screen goes black and momentarily shows a terminal/console before *DM kicks in. I'm not sure if that should happen and if it isn't supposed to it's an instance of X crashing. Having said that, even if this black out is a valid X issue, I don't think it's related to the bug at hand because the bug at hand behaviour does NOT occur in Gnome shell + (as well as not occurring under Unity 2D). It's clearly a Unity 3D bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/72 Title: Unity 3D desktop crashes in Oneiric using ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/72/+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
