Hi all, I have the same issue affecting Ubuntu 12.04 (x86 desktop) on lenovo 3000 v100, which has an Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME graphics card.
I used to restart compiz when this bug crashes my desktop, but I also noticed that changing the "window switcher" in unity works as a work around. I tested the following solution with opening 40 nautilus windows, and hitting alt-tab several times, as well as with the Workspace switcher, and there was no crash. Anyway, all I did was: - install ccsm (sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager) - run ccsm (go to dash, type ccsm) - Scroll down to Window Management - Enable Application Switcher (the top-left plugin right under Windows Management). - It will tell you several key bindings are the same with Unity. Select the appropriate option to override these settings. - That's all. I wrote the above steps from my mind, so if someone can test & write a better guide that would be great. best, batu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/977804 Title: Unity crashes when many windows are opened (intel_do_flush_locked failed: No space left on device) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/977804/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
