Unsetting the need retracing tag. The crash report is too old to be processed by Apport, we did not have the ability to process crashes for the ARM platform until now.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Incomplete. Sounds like we'll never get a retrace on this.

A somewhat good amd64 stacktrace is available in (private) bug 1100574.

I've unprivated the duplicate I just reported, hope it helps.

[James D (demichej)]

Is there an update on this or a workaround? My computer is hosed on 12.10 right now with this Compiz crash. Thanks.

That version has reached EOL since a while, so it will not receive update. If that issue still exist, report again using ubuntu-bug.
