Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: compiz
When I install Compiz-Fusion from the packages (in the official
repositories on Gutsy, and from Amaranth's backports repository on
Feisty), my system crashes to a hard lock (i.e., I have to do
Alt+SysRq+RSEIUB) seemingly randomly when Compiz is running. Nothing in
particular seems to trigger it. I could have no windows open, and it
will just freeze, or things could run smoothly for a while without any
problems, but it inevitably crashes within ~an hour. When I installed
Compiz-Fusion on Feisty by compiling it straight from the GIT
repository, I didn't have this problem *at all* - I might have gotten
one hard lock in ~2 months of heavy use.
