| Bert | Hi there. I built a new desktop and therefore installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu MATE 24.04 after running 18.04 for a little too long. It's taking some adjustment but I'm also running into some odd issues. Since I'm running Nvidia graphics, I'm getting a lot of tearing on Marco and in general I prefer Compiz over Marco. However, Compiz keeps crashing on startup. When I start it afterwards it's fine, but I | 13:17 |
|---|---|---|
| Bert | always end up with a crash report after logging in and a fallback to Marco. I wanted to see if others had the same issue, but for some reason there's no clear line in the crash report to google, I find. Any help or pointers would be much appreciated! | 13:17 |
| superkuh | What's dmesg/etc say about the crashes with Compiz? | 13:29 |
| Bert | superkuh: oh so not the /var/crash report but dmesg itself? | 13:33 |
| superkuh | Always where I look first. | 13:34 |
| * superkuh shrugs. | 13:34 | |
| superkuh | I wasn't even aware 24.04 was out. Good stuff. | 13:34 |
| superkuh | I just wish it weren't so gimped by snaps. | 13:34 |
| superkuh | That 12 year support window is very desirable. | 13:35 |
| Bert | out since april, hence the ".04" | 13:35 |
| oerheks | to view your crashreports: xdg-open https://errors.ubuntu.com/user/$(sudo cat /var/lib/whoopsie/whoopsie-id) | 13:35 |
| Bert | I've gotten rid of all the snaps already | 13:35 |
| superkuh | Nice. | 13:35 |
| superkuh | And your rust compiler still works? | 13:35 |
| superkuh | ER, ignore me. Work on your issue. | 13:35 |
| Bert | lol :P | 13:35 |
| * superkuh stops sidetracking. | 13:35 | |
| Bert | http://paste.debian.net/1323895/ | 13:36 |
| Bert | that's the /var/crash report | 13:36 |
| Bert | the word compiz doesn't feature in dmesg | 13:36 |
| Bert | I do see this which is odd: | 13:37 |
| Bert | [ 660.425247] UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in build/nvidia/535.183.01/build/nvidia-uvm/uvm_pmm_gpu.c:857:39 | 13:37 |
| Bert | oh this is odd, from syslog: | 13:38 |
| Bert | 2024-07-21T14:39:42.355099+02:00 berts-desktop systemd[1]: session-c14.scope: Stopping timed out. Killing. | 13:38 |
| Bert | 2024-07-21T14:39:42.355149+02:00 berts-desktop systemd[1]: session-c14.scope: Killing process 13129 (compiz) with signal SIGKILL. | 13:38 |
| Bert | so maybe it isn't crashing but getting killed? | 13:39 |
| superkuh | No luck searching sub-strings from the above(s) for others with the issue. :\ | 13:40 |
| Bert | yeah that's what I tried | 13:41 |
| Bert | I already reset the ccsm config from mate-tweak | 13:41 |
| Bert | so it's not my config at fault | 13:41 |
| Bert | oerheks: yeah idk if anything happens with those tbh | 13:48 |
| oerheks | if many appear on our servers, it could be a sign | 13:49 |
| oerheks | * the same | 13:49 |
| oerheks | i did not handle compiz for a long time | 13:49 |
| Bert | well, I've sent like 5 or 10 already xD | 13:51 |
| Bert | also for Synapse | 13:51 |
| Bert | but I expect that's compiz grabbing it along when crashing | 13:52 |
| Bert | I guess I should report this then. On launchpad? | 14:03 |
| Bert | oerheks: would you agree? | 15:24 |
| Bert | oh wait, picom is listed in startup applications | 15:27 |
| Bert | that's very odd and could explain! | 15:27 |
| Bert | that fixed it! | 15:36 |
| Bert | how odd | 15:36 |
| oerheks | sorry, afk | 15:41 |
| oerheks | no idea what picom does? | 15:41 |
| Bert | picom is a compositor | 15:42 |
| Bert | it goes with marco sometimes | 15:42 |
| Bert | but it's not supposed to have that as a startup application when compiz is enabled | 15:42 |
| Bert | maybe that's a mate-tweak bug? I'm not sure | 15:42 |
| Bert | I feel like I should report this, not sure where and for which project however | 15:43 |
| oerheks | !bug | 15:44 |
| oerheks | against picom? | 15:44 |
| oerheks | <ubottu> If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its official !flavors, please report it using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 15:44 |
| Bert | well no, it's I would argue not picom's fault that /something/ added it to the Ubuntu MATE startup applications | 15:47 |
| Bert | I guess I could file it against mate-tweak and ubuntu-mate on launchpad, then let people fight it out? | 15:48 |
| Bert | I could add the crash report so people would find it if they also experienced that | 15:48 |
