compiz crash in libc on startup

[Rocko]

Binary package hint: compiz

I get the attached compiz_crash.out file when trying to start compiz.

compiz is attempting to start on a Natty installation just upgraded from Maverick running nvidia 260.19.29 drivers.

Note that I logged this bug from a VM because the natty installation was pretty unusable, and so the BootDmesg etc files are from this VM, not the crashing natty installation.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is either missing or challenging to deal with as a ".crash" file. Please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer.

If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable apport in /etc/default/apport and restart.

Now open your file manager, navigate to your /var/crash directory and open the crash report you wish to submit.
If this fails you will have to open a terminal and file your report with 'ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash' where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report. If you get an error that you aren't allowed to access this report you will have to file it with 'sudo ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash'.

I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.
