Unity icons crash window manager on mouse-over

[James E. LaBarre]

Binary package hint: mutter

Installed Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook distro on ThinkPad T41 (OEM mode this time, although same problems occur in regular install).

Whenever the mouse is moved over the side icon bar, the GUI crashes, and has to respawn.

Confirmed. I get this in /var/log/messages when it crashes:

Oct 31 14:43:37 laptop kernel: [ 5811.480716] mutter[4223]: segfault at 0 ip b4ebf11c sp bff5eab0 error 4 in libclutk-0.3.so.0.360.0[b4eb0000+4e000]

I'm running 10.10 desktop and installed Unity to see what it's like.

[XabiX (xdealmeida)]

Same problem here. Is there any workaround? Using a Dell D600

Thanks

[Lieven Blancke (launchpad-kks36)]

Same on Dell OptiPlex SX270 with a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition:

[Björn Schließmann (b-schliessmann)]

Experiencing same problem on Thinkpad T41. Please look at LP #675135 for trace/core.

[Levi Oakey (welltoldtales)]

Experiencing the same error on a Dell Dimension 3000. Love the unity interface and was attempting to give it a go but it would crash on mouse over.

[Ralic (ralic)]

Experiencing the same problem on a Sylvania gnet 13001, Sylvania g netbook.

[Gustavo Lucas (glucas-suscripciones)]

Experiencing the same problem on a Vaio PCG-V505DX

[Joe Mou (jmou)]

This looks like a duplicate of bug 666447

[Jan Schürmann (visionfactory.net)]

same problem her:

Maverick 10.10 64-bit
AMD Athlon X2
NVidia 9800GT

[Michael Schmitz (michael-schmitztech)]

Same on Thinkpad X31.

[Tim Waterman (tw-tw100)]

Same problem on Tatung Tablet - Maverick 10.10
2.6.35-ppa21+v9patch-generic

Unity will be perfect for the tablet - hope this gets scheduled to be fixed..

[Alex West (hero-lief)]

Experiencing the same problem on a Thinkpad T40. Hopefully we can get this resolved.
