[Bug 1282342] Re: compiz crashes with segfault after recent updates

 

I had the trusty daily iso from 2014.02.15. It installs and runs fine.
I'm saying that this issue was introduced on approximately 2014.02.16 or 2014.02.17
The bug 1283671 referred to above says 2014.02.21, but I think it was a few days prior.

Title:
  compiz crashes with segfault after recent updates

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  My Ubuntu Desktop 14.04 VM became unusable (unity shell) a few days ago, and after some significant updates.
  Things are fine after I log in and until I try to do something. Then compiz will crash and my system becomes unusable. I do have sshd running and can connect via ssh to re-boot or shurdown or get new updates are whatever.

  This bug report is being sent while logged on with GNOME shell, which
  also has been having issues since January 17th, ( see bug 1273276 )
  but there is a workaround that allows me to use it.

  For the last few days, I see log entries in both kern.log and syslog
  saying about compiz complaing about segfaults.

  Everything was working fine for unity log in until a few days ago.
  (well, and as expected during the development phase, there have been
  issues.)
