X crash on Slingshot app move

[virtu]

Hi...

When I try to move an application from Slingshot to dock the system seems to logout immediatly (probably crash on X server, don't know exactly).

If I try just to move an application like: click into calculator, hold it and move... voi là... the Gala closes and login window come again.

My Elementary OS is: http://s4.postimage.org/bwal0lawd/Screenshot_from_2013_02_13_22_25_06.png

What video drivers?

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff (shnatsel)]

Could you report a bug using the relevant menu item? That should attach the relevant info automatically.

Also, I follow the steps of this tutorial: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1930450
but with this drivers package amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-linux-x86.x86_64.run (more actual).

Using this drivers my system got 10 celsius degrees lower then using Elementary OS default driver (I have an hybrid Intel HD3000/Radeon 6470m).

Thanks, but I am new in this world to report a bug, so how can I do that? =)

Virtu, I'm don't anything related to drivers very well, but I seem to remember we had big problems with fglrx. Could you please try other drivers and report whether the bug's still happening?

[virtu (carlos-henriqueanklan)]

To Andre:

Hi =)
I loaded the integrated GPU with this command:
sudo aticonfig --px-igpu # Activate integrated GPU (Power-Saving mode), must re-start X to take effect

Restarted the system and try to move an application Slingshot and no X crash.

I loaded the dedicated GPU (sudo aticonfig --px-dgpu # Activate discrete GPU (High-Performance mode), must re-start X to take effect).

Restarted the system and try the same move... X killed.

[Cody Garver (codygarver)]

This is a proprietary driver problem. Try the newer drivers from the AMD website if you're card is supported. Unfortunately, we can't do anything about this either way.

[ymbSubZ3r0 (vgvianaserver)]

Hi all, dont quite understand that answer about the proprietary driver problem. I used fglrx-experimental-13 wich gives better perfomance in steam games (almos 7600 glxgears) in ubuntu 12.04 , ubuntu remix 12.04 and I dont have anyking of problem, but if I use in elementary i have the same drag app xcrash.

Best Regards,
