[Bug 1176327] [NEW] Compiz crashes on a daily basis, will not restart

 

Public bug reported:

After upgrading to 13.04, compiz crashes pretty much on a daily basis.
At least once on making mplayer go full screen, and sometimes even when
the computer is just left alone (possibly triggered by screensaver).
Unity panels disappear as well.

I generally have a leftover undecorated terminal to try to do recovery
from, but compiz won't even restart, I have to kill my session and start
over from scratch (a reboot is not necessary, however).  Killing the
leftover decorator and *unity* and *indicator* processes had no effect
in restarting attempts. Pending a solution, even a hint what needs
cleaning up for a clean restart of compiz without having to exit the
whole session would be welcome. IIRC I tried to start metacity once and
it started, though was less than fully useful.

Here's what comes out when trying to restart it; at first it seems to
think that Unity isn't hardware supported, but it is, on the radeon
driver: OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD RV770. That'll get
cleared up on killing the decorator.

Incidentally, the panel crash indicator asked if I want to report this
but then just sat there for a while and quit without doing anything...
This is manually through ubuntu-bug.
