compiz.real crashed with signal 7 in eventLoop()

StacktraceTop:eventLoop () at ../../src/display.c:1879
main (argc=1, argv=0x7ffffc5e8668) at ../../src/main.c:442

It happened to me too.

I can confirm the issue, I received an apport bug report on it when opening network manager

Ican confirm this too - I got this error while getting a password request for mounting a volume.

With Ubuntu Hardy Heron Beta this problem solved.

Are you sure? I got it again this morning, didn't report it since there were so many dups already.

re opening due to dups.

I can confirm this. In my case I had a white screen after rebooting after an update.

Updating the proprietary drivers fixed the problem for me though.

I'm using an ATI x1900xt video card.

I can confirm this as well. I was having sound issues so pressed ctrl-alt-backspace and logged in again. Upon login the screen was blank with the background color and a lighter orange box in the upper left. I am on Hardy Beta. Can get more info if needed.

I can confirm this, just happened to me a minute ago.

I just got this crash but opened bug #236849 to provide the apport details.

This crash just happened for me on start-up (Intrepid, amd64, Radeon Xpress 200m (5955), ati driver.)

Hi,

[this comment has been falsely reported in bug #205536 too, i screwed up myself when finding the right one, sorry… perhaps these bugs could be duplicates ?]

confirmed on latest Intrepid, AMD64 and Intel GMA X4500MHD (full HW info @ http://deep-ocean.net/files/sony/ ). This crash happens at EVERY login.
  * I run XFCE
  * with xfwm4 package uninstalled
  * and a symlink from /usr/bin/compiz to /usr/bin/xfwm
At login, session starts normally, then compiz crashes. If I open a terminal and type "compiz --replace", compiz is stable until next reboot : If I just logout then login, compiz works flawlessly.
It could be because I've got an xrandr call in my session scripts, because of bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xbacklight/+bug/176888

→ when my session is GNOME, compiz works flawlessly and never crashes. It's been crashing at login 100% of the time only since I use Xfce, but I can't seem to find the reason of the crash.

Hier
I have received no crashes since
