[Bug 477254] [NEW] Reflection effect locks up GUI

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

ubuntu 9.10, 64-bit, compiz 0.8.4-0ubuntu2, compizconfig-settings-manager 0.8.2-0ubuntu1. Intel GM965/GL960 integrated graphics card.
I installed compizconfig-settings-manager for the first time and started adding a few effects. I enabled a few 'animations' and then the 'animations add-ons'.  I tried to enable the 'reflection' effect and my screen immediately locked up.  No keys seemed to work, and I had to power down my laptop by holding down the power button.  When I restarted, after logging in (actually I am set to auto-login) the screen locked up again while the desktop was still loading; again, no way out but to hold down the power button to power off.  I got to a recovery shell and removed compizconfig-settings-manager, but the computer still locked up on the next boot.  I got to the recovery shell again and added "export WINDOW_MANAGER=metacity" to the end of my ~/.bashrc, and was finally able to get back to my desktop.
