X crashes when using compiz cube and cairo-dock

[Vish]

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

Hi , I was running the ppa from xorg edgers,
I have been having crashes when i switch workspaces using the cairo-dock and compiz cube plugin[set to inside cube] ,

This happens *at random* , when selecting a window[in a different workspace] from the cairo dock window list . the screen freezes during the compiz cube animation and X restarts.

This has been happening[i believe] since the latest updates on 9/22:
libgl1-mesa-dev (7.7.0~git20090919.b8477f07-0ubuntu0tormod) to 7.7.0~git20090921.972e995b-0ubuntu0tormod

xserver-xorg-video-savage (1:2.3.0-1) to 1:2.3.0-1ubuntu1

I switched to the x-updates ppa [purged the edgers ppa and installed ] and now also i face the same crash with the latest mesa:

I'm as of now using these packages from the x-updates ppa:
libgl1-mesa-dev_7.6.0~git20090924.7549a839-0ubuntu1~xup~1

libgl1-mesa-dri-dbg_7.6.0~git20090924.7549a839-0ubuntu1~xup~1

And i'm running the cairo dock from the weekly ppa , since it has some optimizations for OpenGL and radeon driver > https://edge.launchpad.net/~cairo-dock-team/+archive/weekly

Thanks to Alberto Milone , we ran the gdb from an ssh , attaching the output.

[Vish (vish)]

I'v added the cairo dock package since , this happens only with cairo-dock window list and when i switch with the workspace switcher either cairo-dock's or the panel's workspace switcher , i dont get the crash.

Cairo-dock *might* need some tweak.

[Vish (vish)]

May not be cairo-dock's fault... it might be just that the animations being triggered at a quick succession this happens.

And when i use the workarounds [using cairo-dock's/panel's workspace switcher] , it takes me a bit longer and the graphics catches up , hence not causing a crash.

[Vish (vish)]

I had x crash just when i was doing some quick window changes.
I was opening and closing the appearances window very rapidly and x crashed.

[Tormod Volden (tormodvolden)]

The gdb stacktrace shows it crashes in legacy_is_pending() which is the same for bug 446578 and was fixed in today's mesa update (in stock karmic). Can you please verify this fixes your issue?

[Vish (vish)]

I'v had crashes, with the x-updates ppa, even when i switch windows.
This has happened on occasions where i switched the windows a tad faster.
I dont think this is a cairo-dock bug.

@Tormod Volden:
Will test with the karmic packages and report back.

[Vish (vish)]

I'v been using the Karmic version for nearly a week and havent noticed any crash with the karmic packages.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

Setting to Fix Released based on the reporter's last comment.

[Vish (vish)]

Fix released would be a wrong status , as the mesa bug hasnt been fixed.
I rolled back to test if the bug exists in the karmic version.
Setting it to new , instead of invalid , so that it can be found when user searches for similar bugs.

Hi Vish,

This bug was reported against an earlier version of Ubuntu, can you
test if it still occurs on Lucid?

Lucid, please run the following command to refresh the report:

If you are not the original reporter, please file a new bug report, so
we can work with you as the original reporter instead (you can reference
bug 436546 in your report if you think it may be related):

I'm no longer facing this bug on Lucid, closing bug
