I crudely hacked Matt Zimmerman's script to try to stress metacity in an effort to confirm that falling back to metacity will, in fact, stop the freeze from occurring. As far as I can tell wmcntrl -o does not work under metacity, so the modified script uses wmcntrl -s, which simply switches to the designated workspace. Note that shell scripting is far from my forte, so any adjustments to the script are most welcome. Also, note that you have to: 1. Install wmcntrl 2. Install mplayer 3. Edit the script to specify your screen height and width.
Under compiz, Matt Zimmerman's script freezes my computer in a few minutes. Under metacity, my script did not freeze my computer in 35 minutes. I also did a suspend/resume, and ran the script for another 45 minutes without freezing. ** Attachment added: "metacity_stress.sh" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/25707928/metacity_stress.sh -- [i965] X freezes starting on April 3rd https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/359392 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
