Bug Description

This was reported as bug 1059218, but no crash data was uploaded there. I can confirm the crash, so I"m filing this, and duping that bug here.

Perhaps checking 'KDE Compatibility' falls under the 'CCSM may break your system' warning. An immediate crash seems severe. :) But, if no better is expected, this can be marked invalid. Thanks.

Thank you for your report!

However, processing it in order to get sufficient information for the
developers failed (it does not generate a useful symbolic stack trace). This
might be caused by some outdated packages which were installed on your system
at the time of the report:

Please upgrade your system to the latest package versions. If you still
encounter the crash, please file a new report.

Thank you for your understanding, and sorry for the inconvenience!

Did you update all packages first?

Ah, I see I actually have some versions that are too new. I was running xorg-edgers PPA for a while, and I guess the PPA purge that I did wasn't good enough. It would be good if one of us generated a good crash report; I'll see if I can tomorrow.

Since this didn't work, I'll undupe your report; at least until we get a core dump to trace. I do think these crashes are best assigned to compiz, not Unity, so I'll change the assignement on that. Thanks.

I can try again. The strange thing was that the apport reporter did not appear. Do you have a trick for getting the stracktrace added here after the crash?

I don't know, Marius, it just came up for me, as usual. Compiz was gone, and I did have to click 'Relaunch' on the apport window, to get a window manager again. But it sounds like you didn't even get to that point. I guess you could check whether you have a

  ~/.apport-ignore

file, just in case.

I haven't had an opportunity yet where I'm free to crash my desktop session, again. But hopefully soon.
