compiz crashed with SIGSEGV in __normal_iterator() from begin() from functionSetEnabled() from glPaintOutputSetEnabled() from GridScreen::handleEvent()

[Rustam Sharshenov]

Compiz crashes, when nvidia-current driver is installed on my ubuntu 12.10.
I have a new model Samsung laptop(NP550) with HD4000(i7 ivy bridge) and GeForce 650M.
This bugreport is send from fresh installed Qantal daily build with only official updates.
It works fine till I installed nvidia-current

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Rustam Sharshenov (teddybeer)]

New nvidia-driver(304.51) doesn't change the situation. Still the same problem

[Sam Spilsbury (smspillaz)]

Hmm, glPaintOutputSetEnabled appears to be called on a null GLScreen instance.

[Alexandrosg (alexandrosg)]

This is not specifically related to nvidia-current. After an update last night I currently have a broken system with ati drivers.

See also bug #1063400

[Alberto Salvia Novella (es20490446e)]

Since this bug:

- Is valid.
- Is well described.
- Is reported in the upstream project.
- Is ready to be worked on by a developer.

It's already triaged.
