Public bug reported: Binary package hint: compiz
I get regular crashes when I switch the window managers. For example, if I type metacity --replace there seems to be an OK switch to metacity, but then I type compiz --replace and I get the output Checking for Xgl: not present. Detected PCI ID for VGA: 00:02.0 0300: 8086:2a02 (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Checking for texture_from_pixmap: not present. Trying again with indirect rendering: Checking for texture_from_pixmap: present. Checking for non power of two support: present. Checking for Composite extension: present. Comparing resolution (1280x800) to maximum 3D texture size (2048): Passed. Checking for nVidia: not present. Checking for FBConfig: present. Checking for Xgl: not present. /usr/bin/compiz.real (video) - Warn: No 8 bit GLX pixmap format, disabling YV12 image format GConf backend: There is an unsupported value at path /apps/compiz/plugins/scale/allscreens/options/initiate_edge. Settings from this path won't be read. Try to remove that value so that operation can continue properly. After which the system is extremely unstable. Almost anything thereafter leads to a complete crash of the system and not even Ctrl+Alt+Del helps (even though the Radio kept playing!). Btw, I have Hardy 8.04 and Gnome 2.22.3. ** Affects: compiz (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: - Binary package hint: avant-window-navigator + Binary package hint: compiz I get regular crashes when I switch the window managers.
