Just got the same crash.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

Same for me, I can easily reproduce disabling the compositor in metacity.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

bumping to high as this has already attracted 5 dupes.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

The error seems to be:
  buf = "BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)", '\0' <repeats 16 times>

The request code seems to be 53:
  xerror = {type = 0, display = 0x235c8f0, resourceid = 61, serial = 1119,
      error_code = 11 '\v', request_code = 53 '5', minor_code = 0 '\0'},

which is
/usr/include/X11/Xproto.h:#define X_CreatePixmap 53

Maybe non-freed server side pixmaps?

[David Barth (dbarth)]

I've tried to reproduce this by playing with metacity's compositing flag, but I cannot make it crash as of notify-osd-0.8-0ubuntu3.

Can you provide a test case?

[ScottyJavea (scotty-kmts)]

David,

The problem was with an upgrade from 8.1 to 9.04.

I have installed 9.04 from an iso and so far, so good.

Regards,
Keith Scott

I use 2.6.28-8 generic kernel
I have also this crash under XFCE. Afer a login. After a kernel oops.
I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 and after a upgrade the sound not works.

[Martin Olsson (mnemo)]

Ah that reminds me. I also had xorg segv just before and it's very likely that I too had a kernel oops crash notification about to be displayed (I got kerneloops package installed btw but that's not related I guess?).

[pitwalker (pitwalker)]

I change the appearance from normal to none. That cause the error. (also on 2009-02-25)
When I make the cange I use the CRUX theme.
My 2nd panel is aligned to the left side.

[pitwalker (pitwalker)]

notify-osd 0.8-0ubuntu4 steps to reproduce error:

login to gnome as normal user
set the panelt to the left and the right side (order is not important, I use 32pixel wide panels)
open 3 windows for example: firefox, gnome terminal, openoffice.org writer
open appearance
change effects to normal
change themes
change effects to none
wait half minute

(i install xfce but packages every dependency are ok
every package is ut to date)

[Nikolay Botev (nikolaybotevb)]

same crash, 904 upgrade from 810, 64-bit ubuntu, happens on start of fusion-icon, using custom built-from-source opensolaris nimbus theme

[electhor (electhor)]

Seems like I have had the same crash too! Hope the 1.1mb of things copied re the crash download OK.

[firebird76 (firebird76)]

Same crash after update 8.10 to 9.04 64 bit.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

that is fixed in jaunty now

[Daniel Santibáñez Polanco (dansanti)]

hello!

this also happend before upgrade from jaunty to karmic alpha2.

[Anthony Hook (anthonyhook)]

I had a problem with this running the latest version of Karmic Alpha2

[UGN (eugene-korneev)]

i have same bug 5 min ago!!! (system updated [karmic])
