It was them, I downgraded the packages to _7.0.3~rc2-1ubuntu3_, doing which compiz starts to work again.
libgl1-mesa-dri (7.1~rc1-0ubuntu1) to 7.0.3~rc2-1ubuntu3_i386 libgl1-mesa-glx (7.1~rc1-0ubuntu1) to 7.0.3~rc2-1ubuntu3_i386 libglu1-mesa ( 7.1~rc1-0ubuntu1) to 7.0.3~rc2-1ubuntu3_i386 mesa-utils ( 7.1~rc1-0ubuntu1) to 7.0.3~rc2-1ubuntu3_i386 Hence, the problem lies with mesa packages, "7.1~rc1-0ubuntu1". Lets wait for a newer version, and hope that fixes the fragile situation :) I have locked the version for now. ** Summary changed: - Intrepid, on latest updates (mesa updates), compiz no longer works and gives white screen on login + Intrepid, on latest updates (mesa updates - 7.1~rc1-0ubuntu1), compiz no longer works and gives white screen on login -- Intrepid, on latest updates (mesa updates - 7.1~rc1-0ubuntu1), compiz no longer works and gives white screen on login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/245888 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
