Title: compiz.real crashed with SIGSEGV

The different reports have different ideas of what triggers this bug, this is what happened to me when I first reported it:
* Set Visual Effects to 'Normal'. Restarted X (CTRL+ALT+DEL) and it still worked, rebooted and it still worked.
* Set Visual Effects to 'Extra'. Restarted X as above and it still worked, rebooted and it worked (it seems to still be working now) so I started Evolution as soon as I grabbed the top of the window to check the window wobble effect was working, then this crash. I must emphasize that compiz has not actually stopped and is still working. But something generated the crash report, so here it is:

[Duncan Lithgow (duncan-lithgow)]

In order to make a backtrace I looked at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace, but I cannot work out how to start compiz under gdb. I went into the Appearance setting and changed 'Visual Effects' to 'None' and then tried these two ideas, neither of which worked:

Just to clarify an unclear issue... I installed Gutsy fresh from the 9/24 daily build. Updated to current, added the nvidia driver, and all the codecs and other "essential" stuff. All is working fine. Create new user, and log in. The desktop is oversized (1600x1400 on a 1280x1024 screen) and compiz crashed. So it is a issues on a clean install, not an upgrade issue. My files are in the dupe bug [Bug 146409]

[David Portwood (dzportwood)]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, this compiz package is not from the official Ubuntu repositories, and as such is not supported here. Please report this bug upstream at [WWW] https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xorg . Thanks!

[David Portwood (dzportwood)]

I closed the wrong set of bugs, sorry.

[Duncan Lithgow (duncan-lithgow)]

David: I'm a bit confused but I will assume that this bug is okay here for now. Any idea how we can get a real stack trace on this?

[magor (root-sweetismarvelous)]

My Kubuntu 7.10 just crashed. The bug report says "Extra debug information will be added to the bug report automatically." I hope that's true. I also hope (but doubt) it has the stack trace.

 Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Hardy Heron. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at [WWW] http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.

Hello

I just had this crash on my Ubuntu Hardy which is up-to-date as of 080222.

[Kjell Braden (afflux)]

Confirmed due to bug 194273.

[Chris McCauley (chris-avondalepark)]

I've had it happen when using ctrl-alt-backspace to restart the window environment and also when restarting from hibernate

[mattia (tiam87)]

the same problem.when i used ctrl.alt.backspace to restart

[Nicolas Valcarcel (nvalcarcel)]

I have the same problem changing the visual efects from "None" to "Normal" with compiled nvidia module.

[quickstar (iceempror)]

when choosing a new screensaver, compiz crash

[Joel Wirāmu Pauling (aenertia) (aenertia)]

With NVIDIA, get XID error again with the hardy kernel and latest nvidia driver.

[54637.292322] compiz.real[6190]: segfault at 2c08d rip 40feb0 rsp 7fffa4184690 error 4

Happens after acpi/gnome-power manager state change (i.e after ac plug/unplug) and even without statechange (i.e when screensaver kicks in etc).

This did not happen with 2.6.23 kernel with redhat patches.

[linuxatico88 (simo88-47)]

sometimes compiz.real crashes just after the loading of all the OS....

[CCs (csoma)]

Same problem, randomly:

[David Baucum (maxolasersquad)]

I got this crash too when trying to enable compiz.

[Ruben Romero (huayra)]

I didn't do anything else than start my computer and there it was ready to be sent...

NO idea whatsoever of why. But apport sent the report.

[Jean.c.h (slug71)]

Restarted computer after doing latest updates. Using Intrepid Ibex Alpha 5 64 bit all updates applied.

[ibizatunes (ibizatunes)]

I have this bug too, in 8.10 alpha 5

[Gerardo Vaquerizo (gerardo-vaquerizo)]

I just start my computer and there it was ready to be sent...

[Tares (tares-kun)]

I've got this same bug everytime I boot.

[ibizatunes (ibizatunes)]

Im having this problem in ubuntu 8.10

[jeroenl (jeroenl)]

I can confirm this using up-to-date Intrepid. It happened when I started my computer and session today. I have set the desktop effects to normal. Those are still working btw.

[Bernhard Nikola (bnikola)]

problem in Ubuntu 8.10 when starting a 1TB HDD USB at a very slow laptop. I think its a reply timeout in combination with my slow laptop.

[Duncan Lithgow (duncan-lithgow)]

With 135 duplicates and Compiz being shipped by default I think it would be good if this bug had a bit more attention, or any attention. If anyone has a suggestion for how to get things moving or a request for more information please say so.

[tdflanders (thomasdelbeke)]

Hi Kjell,

I did it over once more. Same old, same old.

[kimus (kimus)]

every time I logon the compiz is not loaded (no WM) I have to manualy go to appearance and choose to enable effects... searches for drivers, and applies the compiz.

[Clusty (clusty1)]

a dirty fixup for this (fighting effect rather than cause) is to use fusion-icon.
Add that to your gnome session and you get as a bonus a cute looking icon.

[Juan Pablo Salazar Bertín (snifer)]

Bug #201849 and duplicates are crashing at doPoll, also.

[Bruce Crowther (bwucie)]

I have no idea. Screen comes up, there is a crash icon. Only thing I notice is no connection to my router, but surely that is a different issue?

[jflaming (jay-flaming)]

Same error, happens on login after x session starts up. Confirmed after updating all packages tonight.

[Fabian A. Scherschel (fabsh)]

I can confirm this. With the updates that came in this morning.

[CPKS (c-1)]

Confirmed just after installing the latest kernel, 2.6.27.6-generic.

[benste (benste)]

me too,
8.10 updated + 2.6.24.6

compiz error appears after every login, but it doesn't aafect to the running compiz which works fine !

[karlrt (karlrt)]

got the same since i updated my intrepid from alpha to now..., everything still works fine, just apport tells me compiz crashed...

[Willem Ligtenberg (wligtenberg)]

Had this bug just now.
8.10 updated yesterday + 2.6.27.7
apport says it crashed, however compiz still seems to work.

[jamescridland (james-cridland)]

I noticed a new update to compiz this morning in software update. So, went to change Visual Settings (in Appearance) to 'Normal', which used to kick this error off for me.

It doesn't any more. Yay.

It kicks this error off instead. Boo!

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

Is there anyone who can reproduce this in a reliable way? From what I can gather in this report it looks like:
a) the crash notification appears on login, but compiz works fine
b) it seems to happen after upgrade, does it then hapen on each login or just the first one?

I suspect it might be something that makes it crash during shutdown and/or because of upgrades/on-disk-changes. The w=0x1 in the backtrace is something that can only be explained by memory corruption. If someone can reproduce it in a reliable way, I can provide debug patches.

Thanks,
 Michael

[Chris McCauley (chris-avondalepark)]

@Michael,

Yes, the notification appears on login but compiz works fine. I'm not positive that it happens after an upgrade but it did happen again to me this morning after an upgrade and only on the first login.

Chris

[Nick Russell (thatnick)]

1) Yes the crash happens on login, but compiz works.
2) It happens on both my hardy machines which I have upgraded. It doesn't only happen once but over and over again at login. Unfortunately it doesn't occur every time, it seems random.

[Peter Siklósi (einon)]

Hi!

I could not reproduce it, but after the first few times it stopped for
me. Unfortunately until I turned off every desktop effects my windows
refresh was buggy... after a window change the content of the window was
some crap. (un)maximizing and mouse movements refreshed it.
I turned off all effects... everything "works" fine.

Bye!

Hy, I tried to reproduce it in some ways, but it didn't work.
So error just appears on login after a upgrade + it doesn't happen on another compiz activated user on my laptop.

Maybe it's realted to a plugin??

[Felix Oxley (felix-oxley)]

Compiz reported crash immediately after login.
The only thing that I did was start a terminal and run powertop.

I had just rebooted after applying todays updates.

[tdflanders (thomasdelbeke)]

This is reproducible by running '$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure -aup low' after a system update/upgrade. I use the update/upgrade command:

sudo apt-get -fy --force-yes update ; sudo apt-get -fy --force-yes upgrade ; sudo apt-get -fy --force-yes dist-upgrade ; sudo apt-get -fy --force-yes install ; sudo dpkg --configure -a ; sudo update-manager -c -d ; sudo synaptic

After you reboot the crash is presented through apport-gtk. Possibly dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg x-session-manager will suffice.

[Ketil Vestby (ketil-vestby)]

Got this signal on 8.10, clean install.

Did a 100% clean and straight install, rebooted, updated, rebooted - and the message was waiting. Firefox is the first program I'm using in 8.10 (except for the updating programs).

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

I just got confirmation via irc that the crash file roughly correlates with the logout time (but not on a compiz upgrade apparently).

[tdflanders (thomasdelbeke)]

Hi Michael,

I used to be able to reproduce this with 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -aup low' (as described above), but with the current configuration (see below) this is no longer possible. I could not do a clean backtrace but Kjell Braden thought me a trick: 'thomas@thomas-laptop:~$ gdb --args compiz.real --replace 2>&1 | tee gdb-compiz.real.txt'. The problem is I am running a direct download now and this crash is fatal. Maybe with all the updates it will work now. I will try it in half an hour unless you beat me to it.

Cheers,

Thomas

BTW Michael,

did you notice the following line in my .xsession-errors file?

/usr/bin/compiz.real (video) - Warn: No 8 bit GLX pixmap format, disabling YV12 image format

Thanks,

[tdflanders (thomasdelbeke)]

OK,

I also noticed that both this crash reports were incomplete:

Hi,

there seem to be a couple of Xorg errors, maybe this is useful?

Thomas, thanks for your efforts. We don't need most of the information

[gray (info-graydesigns)]

hi

I was adjusting the settings in the sound preferences, the test window froze and while attempting to close it, the crash occurred

thanks

[tdflanders (thomasdelbeke)]

I can confirm this:

When you open volume control and adjust something, you can sometimes induce a crash. It looks like this thing is very similar to #252046 gvfs-hal-volume-monitor crashed with SIGSEGV in strlen().

Another way to induce a (fatal) crash is simply: ($ sudo compiz).

This could be due to my /home/$USER settings:

While viewing online motion video using my onboard ATI 780G graphics chipset (ATI drivers), I went to view SCREENSAVER options where this error occured. The screensaver being viewed was GFlux. Maybe a crash between system drivers used when viewing video movement off internet and high intensive GFlux running at the same time.

Is this bug actually a duplicate of #131679? That's a very similar bug.

Ok, thanks. Any luck on getting it solved? It's kinda hard to work

I thought I marked as a duplicate. My problem went away after
rebooting. A very Microsoft solution, I know.

It must be an automatic bug reporting of compiz, since I never posted the
bug manually. I even do not know what happened exactly, I only saw that
the crash was detected, but on my desktop it had no effect that I could
see. I'm only using the very basic features of compiz, nothing special. So
for me this bug has no importance. Hope it will not change to worse :-)

You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber
of the bug.

[Jean.c.h (slug71)]

Just got this crash report on Jaunty 9.04 AMD-64.
Just did some updates(50), restarted and got this just as the Desktop finished loading.

[Cruncher (ubuntu-wkresse)]

Is bug #277906 the same? With another 145(!) duplicates, and not yet connected to this one it seems likely. Although I have to admit I didn't take a closer look.

[stefanlindmark (stefan-lindmark)]

Yes, likely enough. Go ahead and close this duplicate submission from me.
Will refile if repeated closer to release.
