You have been subscribed to a public bug: After upgrading to 13.04, compiz crashes pretty much on a daily basis. At least once on making mplayer go full screen, and sometimes even when the computer is just left alone (possibly triggered by screensaver). Unity panels disappear as well.
I generally have a leftover undecorated terminal to try to do recovery from, but compiz won't even restart, I have to kill my session and start over from scratch (a reboot is not necessary, however). Killing the leftover decorator and *unity* and *indicator* processes had no effect in restarting attempts. Pending a solution, even a hint what needs cleaning up for a clean restart of compiz without having to exit the whole session would be welcome. IIRC I tried to start metacity once and it started, though was less than fully useful. Here's what comes out when trying to restart it; at first it seems to think that Unity isn't hardware supported, but it is, on the radeon driver: OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD RV770. That'll get cleared up on killing the decorator. Incidentally, the panel crash indicator asked if I want to report this but then just sat there for a while and quit without doing anything... This is manually through ubuntu-bug. mjr@phantom:~$ compiz & [1] 21295 mjr@phantom:~$ compiz (core) - Info: Loading plugin: core compiz (core) - Info: Starting plugin: core compiz (core) - Info: Loading plugin: ccp compiz (core) - Info: Starting plugin: ccp compizconfig - Info: Backend : gsettings compizconfig - Info: Integration : true compizconfig - Info: Profile : unity compiz (core) - Info: Loading plugin: composite compiz (core) - Info: Starting plugin: composite compiz (core) - Info: Loading plugin: opengl compiz (core) - Info: Unity is not supported by your hardware.
