Hi! My compiz was working just fine with my hardy 8.04, ATI catalyst 8.5 drivers and my Mobility Radeon HD 2300 until I updated my system with the following packages today:
desktop-file-utils (0.15-1ubuntu3) to 0.15-1ubuntu4 gnome-about (1:2.22.2-0ubuntu1) to 1:2.22.2-0ubuntu2 gnome-desktop-data (1:2.22.2-0ubuntu1) to 1:2.22.2-0ubuntu2 gthumb (3:2.10.6-0ubuntu4) to 3:2.10.8-0ubuntu1 libgnome-desktop-2 (1:2.22.2-0ubuntu1) to 1:2.22.2-0ubuntu2 Then I got the same issue as described above: white screen when logging in. I then deactivated compiz and all was fine. Whenever I try to reactivate it I get the white screen. I am pretty sure the problems occured after installing the updates mentioned above, but it might also be due to some updates I did yesterday. They seem a bit more related to the graphics card, but I don't use fgrlx - I use the proprietary driver from ATI and I have rebooted after having installed these without any white screen appearing: gecko-mediaplayer (0.6.0-0ubuntu1) to 0.6.0-0ubuntu1.1 gtkhtml3.14 (3.18.1-0ubuntu1) to 3.18.2-0ubuntu1 gvfs (0.2.3-0ubuntu5) to 0.2.4-0ubuntu1 gvfs-backends (0.2.3-0ubuntu5) to 0.2.4-0ubuntu1 gvfs-fuse (0.2.3-0ubuntu5) to 0.2.4-0ubuntu1 libgtkhtml3.14-19 (3.18.1-0ubuntu1) to 3.18.2-0ubuntu1 libgvfscommon0 (0.2.3-0ubuntu5) to 0.2.4-0ubuntu1 linux-restricted-modules-common (2.6.24.12-17.36) to 2.6.24.13-18.41 seahorse (2.22.1-0ubuntu2) to 2.22.2-0ubuntu1 xorg-driver-fglrx (1:7.1.0-8-3+2.6.24.12-17.36) to 1:7.1.0-8-3+2.6.24.13-18.41 xorg-driver-fglrx-dev (1:7.1.0-8-3+2.6.24.12-17.36) to 1:7.1.0-8-3+2.6.24.13-18.41 -- [fglrx] Ati x1600Pro White screen on activating compiz https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196900 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
