[Bug 1451613] Re: Unity/compiz crashes when locking screen

 

So far, this has only been reported on Trusty.  It's still unclear to us
why this is occurring only on Trusty.  Given that we still don't have a
proper fix in place for this on Trusty, we are just going to revert the
offending commit and get an SRU out with only this reversion as soon as
possible.

Thanks for everyone's patience and trying to help us debug this!

Title:
  Unity/compiz crashes when locking screen

Status in Unity:
  Invalid
Status in Unity 7.2 series:
  In Progress
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Since a recent update (around April 29th), sometimes (approximately once a day) when I lock my computer screen (CTRL+L or using system menu) the computer freeze for a while (2 to 30 seconds) before showing the login screen.
  Then when I try to unlock the screen I need to enter my password twice (with no error message after the first try).
  Once logged in, all applications are closed. Uptime is still running (since no reboot) and services too (with no interruption).

  Looking at the apport.log file (see attached) it seems that when I try
  to lock the screen, compiz crashes.

  I've attached the compiz crash file too (_usr_bin_compiz.1000.crash)
  but without the 100Mo data of base64 core dumb…

  
  I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 AMD64.
  Graphics drivers: nvidia-331.113 (tested)
