Public bug reported: crash takes place immediately (within 1st 20 minutes of updating software after fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS). The crash occurs without any noticeable kernel/system incapacitation. There are no "screen freezes" or signs of operational degradation involving the display. Each time the indication of the Compiz "crash" occurs I have elected to leave the Compiz application closed pending further Xorg system diagnostics. Pleae advise re: resolve related to the Compiz program app (update) "bug".
I have applied the test packages as prescribed below as of 30 minutes prior to posting this brief report (although I am unsure if this resolve is specific to the bug exhibitted on my particular computer: obtained at Ubuntu URL: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/HighMemory ------------------------------------------------------------------ Installing the test packages Please do the following to upgrade to the proposed X server with the fix: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade After that, reboot and log in. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unable to determine relative possibility of security vulnerabilities related to the Compiz (compositing manager for Open GL - desktop appearance/settings/functionality inline with manipulating Intel graphics chip instructions). Installing the test packages Please do the following to upgrade to the proposed X server with the fix: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade After that, reboot and log in. The error is not uncommon and have discussed with other end-users in Ubuntu "freenode" discussions. Hopefully, a resolve (other than the PPA debug session and debug for the update) can be compiled for this and future distributions of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, &c. I intend to re-install Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS directly (as of this writing) and avoid updates to Compiz (or in the alternative uninstall the offending application = Compiz updates to Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS). If I am in error in following this course in remedying the spontaneous crashing of the internal application - could you kindly advise as to alternative measures (if at all possible) for the benefit of all Ubuntu 12.04 LTS users, if you please. Thank you for your time and considerations regarding this issue.
