apport information ** Tags added: apport-collected compiz-0.9 natty needs-reassignment possible-manual-nvidia-install regression-update running-unity ubuntu
** Description changed: Sometimes, I am affected by bug 808962 where unity always stays on top of my windows. This is very annoying. In an attempt to workaround this, I opened ccsm and disabled & re-enabled Unity (unchecked and then rechecked the compiz plugin). After doing this, I end up with a purple bar on the side of my screen that does not redraw, and is still above all windows. I do not have to experience bug 808962 first for this to happen. It seems like it's an issue after disabling & re-enabling it. Sometimes, the unity bar at the top does not redraw correctly either. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open ccsm 2. Disable Unity 3. Re-enable Unity I am running natty on a Thinkpad T410 with the nvidia-proprietary drivers installed through synaptic. $ lsb_release -a Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 11.04 Release: 11.04 Codename: natty $ lspci | grep -i nvidia 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [NVS 3100M] (rev a2) 01:00.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1) + --- + .proc.driver.nvidia.gpus.0: Error: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0' + .proc.driver.nvidia.registry: Binary: "" + .proc.driver.nvidia.version: + NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 275.19 Tue Jul 12 18:13:58 PDT 2011 + GCC version: gcc version 4.5.2 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.5.2-8ubuntu4) + Architecture: amd64 + CompizPlugins: [core,bailer,detection,composite,opengl,decor,resize,imgpng,resizeinfo,grid,titleinfo,compiztoolbox,mousepoll,wall,move,switcher,dbus,regex,place,vpswitch,ring,snap,commands,animation,winrules,session,workarounds,unityshell] + CompositorRunning: compiz + DistUpgraded: Log time: 2011-04-29 09:46:33.627246 + DistroCodename: natty + DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 + DistroVariant: ubuntu + DkmsStatus: + nvidia-current, 275.19, 2.6.38-10-generic, x86_64: installed + vboxhost, 4.0.12, 2.6.38-10-generic, x86_64: installed + EcryptfsInUse: Yes + GraphicsCard: + nVidia Corporation GT218 [NVS 3100M] [10de:0a6c] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) + Subsystem: Lenovo Device [17aa:21d4] + InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release amd64 (20101007) + InstallationMedia_: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release amd64 (20101007) + InstallationMedia__: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release amd64 (20101007) + JockeyStatus: xorg:nvidia_current - NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (Proprietary, Enabled, Not in use) + MachineType: LENOVO 2518AJU + NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia + Package: unity 3.8.16-0ubuntu1~natty1 + PackageArchitecture: amd64 + ProcEnviron: + LANGUAGE=en_US:en + LC_COLLATE=en_US.utf8 + PATH=(custom, user) + LANG=en_US.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash + ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-10-generic root=UUID=5c44ca76-926c-44dc-b742-95268046f8ec ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 + ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-10.46-generic 2.6.38.7 + ProcVersionSignature_: Ubuntu 2.6.38-10.46-generic 2.6.38.7 + ProcVersionSignature__: Ubuntu 2.6.38-10.46-generic 2.6.38.7 + Renderer: Unknown + Tags: natty running-unity natty running-unity natty running-unity possible-manual-nvidia-install ubuntu regression-update needs-reassignment compiz-0.9 + Uname: Linux 2.6.38-10-generic x86_64 + UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to natty on 2011-04-29 (87 days ago) + UserGroups: adm admin audio cdrom dialout fuse lpadmin plugdev sambashare vboxusers + dmi.bios.date: 10/25/2010 + dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO + dmi.bios.version: 6IET74WW (1.34 ) + dmi.board.name: 2518AJU + dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO + dmi.board.version: Not Available + dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Information + dmi.chassis.type: 10 + dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO + dmi.chassis.version: Not Available + dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvr6IET74WW(1.34):bd10/25/2010:svnLENOVO:pn2518AJU:pvrThinkPadT410:rvnLENOVO:rn2518AJU:rvrNotAvailable:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNotAvailable: + dmi.product.name: 2518AJU + dmi.product.version: ThinkPad T410 + dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO + version.compiz: compiz 1:0.9.4+bzr20110606-0ubuntu1~natty2 + version.ia32-libs: ia32-libs 20090808ubuntu13 + version.libdrm2: libdrm2 2.4.23-1ubuntu6 + version.libgl1-mesa-dri: libgl1-mesa-dri 7.10.2-0ubuntu2 + version.libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental: libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental N/A + version.libgl1-mesa-glx: libgl1-mesa-glx 7.10.2-0ubuntu2 + version.nvidia-graphics-drivers: nvidia-graphics-drivers N/A + version.xserver-xorg: xserver-xorg 1:7.6+4ubuntu3.1 + version.xserver-xorg-video-ati: xserver-xorg-video-ati N/A + version.xserver-xorg-video-intel: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.14.0-4ubuntu7.1 + version.xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau N/A ** Attachment added: ".proc.driver.nvidia.params.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/816527/+attachment/2234432/+files/.proc.driver.nvidia.params.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/816527 Title: Unity does not redraw To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/816527/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
