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

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Looks like bug 833729 was never really fixed properly.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

I suspect this bug might have been finally fixed properly by the fix for bug 1065815.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Incomplete... pending the release of the fix for bug 1065815. If this bug persists after that then it can be reopened.

[Chris Jones (jones-home)]

Also affects me. Cannot run unity at all, at present. Can run gnome classic though.

[Bradley M. Froehle (brad-froehle)]

I'm not sure this is necessarily fixed in bug 1065815. I can reproduce this after installing version 0.9.8-1+bzr3409-staging1-201210180713~quantal1 from the daily build at https://code.launchpad.net/~compiz-team/+archive/compiz/+packages

To reproduce::

sudo apt-get install tightvncserver
vncserver :1
DISPLAY=:1 xterm &
vncviewer localhost:1

Then in the xterm window::
unity --debug

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Please wait for compiz 0.9.8.6 to test the fix for bug 1065815.

[Jason Duerstock (evilmoo)]

Is there an ETA on when 0.9.8.6 will be released?

Thanks

Jason

Problem arises when I launch a second VNC server. Ubuntu 12.04. Did not have this issue with 10.04 or 11.10.

frizzle21,

If you're still experiencing this bug please clarify what compiz package version you have. I suspected bug 1065815 would solve this so you either need Ubuntu 13.04 or compiz 0.9.8.6 in Ubuntu 12.10.

[Rachel Greenham (rachel-strangenoises)]

Encountered on 13.04 running in vmware fusion 4.x (ie: no 3d, so it should be reverting to llvm-pipe presumably). It reported the error that led me here, but continued to work anyway. Compiz version 0.9.9; specifically

rachel@daring:~$ apt-cache policy compiz
compiz:
  Installed: 1:0.9.9~daily13.02.08-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 1:0.9.9~daily13.02.08-0ubuntu1

        500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

May be slightly old versions; first time I ran the vm for a week or so, so about to do upgrades, but this happened first. I'll be back if it happens again after reboot...

[Paulos (valach-pavel)]

I've also encountered this error - while trying to remotely connect using XRDP. After remote login, sesman-xvnc started a new session where Compiz refused to run (-> crashed).

pavel@Pavel-Ubuntu:~$ apt-cache policy compiz

[frizzle21 (frederik-nnaji)]

i'm running compiz 0990
$ compiz --version
Compiz 0.9.9.0

$ lspci | grep -i vga

marking confirmed

[dewert (dewert)]

confirmed, running compiz 0.9.9.0, Ubuntu 13.04

Trying to log in via xrdp.

[dino99 (9d9)]

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