Public bug reported:
After upgrading from Hardy to Intrepid (kernel 2.6.27-7-generic),
"Alt+F2 > compiz --replace" and/or going to System > Preferences >
Appearance > Visual Effects and changing from "None" to "Normal" (I did
not even try "Extra" yet) results immediately in plain desktop
background view, the open window(s) and panels disappearing. No key
combination (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, Ctrl+Alt+Del, Ctrl+Alt+F3, etc. etc.)
has any effect, so I have to do hard reboot. I have tried this three
times after having upgraded yesterday from Hardy on my desktop PC,* and
each time the result is the same, i.e. need to hard-reboot.
I have had Intrepid on my laptop (Acer TravelMate 2354, with recent RAM
upgrade from 256 to 768 MB) for several weeks now with no such problems,
but upgrading to Intrepid on this desktop machine* was not as
successful.
*) Compaq Evo D510 SFF, 512 MB RAM, Intel Celeron 2 GHz, Intel 845
graphics card. Ubuntu 8.10 installed on external HDD (WD, 500 GB USB
drive).
