[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

This looks similar to bug 927168 but different. This one is coming from Unity trying to hand-draw decorations.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

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

This occurs approximately once a day for me... running 64 bit inside Virtualbox 4.2, did an in-place upgrade from 12.04.

I was able to solve this by installing the latest proprietary drivers for my graphics cards.

Compiz and Unity are crashing on Live DVD boot in Vmware player 6.0.1
No menus and menubars are visible, just managed to start terminal by keyboard shortcurts.

[Amulet (amulet800)]

This received first boot after upgrade to 14.04

[Dave Gilbert (ubuntu-treblig)]

Same here; unusable - 14.04 in KVM guest, dies immediately after I search for 'terminal' and select it.
The terminal eventually starts but by that time compiz is dead.

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño) (3v1n0)]

This seems to happen here when compiz tries to create an empty texture (0x0), see bt at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7027036/

Some highlights:
#9 0x00007fbfc0f16429 in unity::compiz_utils::PixmapTexture::PixmapTexture (this=0x227a968, w=0, h=0) at /home/marco/Dev/unity/trunk/unity-shared/CompizUtils.cpp:115

The text buffer has random geometries at this point:

This bug was fixed in the package compiz - 1:0.9.11+14.04.20140303-0ubuntu1

  * Window: define proper cases when we need to resize a window when
    decorating/undecorating Yeah, again here... So, now when setting the
    window extents, we resize a window only in these cases: 1) We have a
    normal window that has never been decorated (lp:1282304) 2) We're
    (re)decorating a maximized or fullscreen window (lp:1282305) This
    seems to work well in all the cases I tested, with no regressions
    with nedit (that highlighted an issue with old code path) (LP:
    #1282304, #1282305)
  * Opengl, Texture: don't try to create a texture of invalid (empty or
    negative) size This seem to cause also a crash when using software
    rendering. (LP: #1055166)

[Doug Smythies (dsmythies)]

Yes, this has fixed my problem for one of my 14.04 Desktop VM running on my 12.04 server host.
I have several other scenarios to check, it'll take me awhile. (I came here from bug 1282342 , which started 2104.02.17)
