Compiz fusion crashes after activating cube effect

I have a very similar problem since I installed 8.04 64bit. If there are any programs open on the desktop it will crash as soon as I press the buttons that activate the cube <ctrl><atl><button1> or <button1><button2>, the desktop crashes without the cube ever becoming visible. If there are no windows displayed on the desktop, either none open, or minimized, the rotate cube function works perfectly.

I am running 8.04, all current updates, on a System76 Darter Ultra (aka Daru1, aka white Darter).
Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller

Further experimentation, and help from the ubuntuforums led me to a work around.

Disable 3D effects plugin in ccsm and the rotating cube no longer crashes when apps are open. Would like to be able to have 3D and work with opened apps on the desktop, but this partially solves it for now.

Same problem for me. Ubuntu 8.04 64bit
Cube works only if "3D Windows" option is NOT selected! Otherwise it crashs!
I'd like to correct this bug, but...how?

Precisely I think the Server X crashs. In fact, after few seconds ubuntu go to graphic login window, like when I start up ubuntu!

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 RC or later?

Have not tried 8.10 yet.  Just got home from 22 days on the road.  Will try as soon as I get a chance.

I think problem is on 64bit. Since I use ubuntu 32 bit cube effect works perfectly!

problem still exists. 64bit intrepid, integrated intel gfx

Confirmed here as well.  Only doing it on the Daru1 System76 laptop though, not the desktop machine - there it works fine.

I had this problem as well using 64-bit Ubuntu on a desktop using an ASUS P5KPL-CM board (Intel GMA3100 integrated graphics). Regarding the state of affairs on Intrepid, there are no problems if the 'cube deformation' is set to either cylinder or sphere; 3D windows work fine. But if you try to use 3D windows without deformation, the same problem is still there.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

The newest release the 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope works with no hassle

The problem is gone so I'm going to change status to "Fix Released"

Thank you for the update. Please report any other bugs you find :)
