Compiz crashed while running update-manager

[Herman Jongkind]

Binary package hint: compiz

The notification area indicated that software updates were available. I clicked the icon, update manager started, I decided to install the list of updates so I clicked the "install updates" button. At that moment Compiz crashed.

I'm running Feisty.
I don't have compiz-extra installed
I'm running the nvidia-glx drivers from the repositories
I've a Nvidia 7300 LE videocard

Hi Herman

Is this reproducible?
If so, which are the steps to crash it?

Which video card and driver do you have?

Thanks

[Herman Jongkind (herman-jongkind)]

About reproducibility: this was the first time that it happened. I'll give
feedback the next time that it happens.

VideoCard: 256MB Nvidia GeForce 7300LE TurboCache graphics card
Driver: nvidia-glx 9755

It is reproducible: new updates were available. After clicking the "install
updates" button the screen froze. The system became accessible after hitting
ctrl alt bckspc. No bug report was created.

This is confirmed as of last night.

Hello,
What if gksudo and its appearance effect were responsible ?
Please try in a terminal :
gksudo gedit
(This will launch gedit as root.)

[Herman Jongkind (herman-jongkind)]

Good shot: after doing this I had another crash.
