Hi All,

None of us can reproduce the issue and without a stacktrace with
symbols, it's very hard to tell exactly what may be causing the issue.
That said, Andrea has a suspicion of what the problem is, so we need to
volunteers to test it out.

I have created a PPA that is the latest Trusty version of Unity plus
https://code.launchpad.net/~azzar1/unity/avoid-lambda-
edgebarrier/+merge/260409.  You can find the PPA at ppa:townsend/unity-
test (https://launchpad.net/~townsend/+archive/ubuntu/unity-test).  We
would greatly appreciate if anyone affected by this please test the
package there.  If the crash still occurs, then I will back out that
change as well as another change in the SRU that we suspect might have
caused it and create a new package in the aforementioned PPA.

Thanks very much!

Title:
  Unity/compiz crashes when locking screen

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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)
