Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

I installed Lubuntu 10.10 and now the problem is that compositing doesn't work with xcompmgr.

When I launch xcompmgr, everything seems to be fine. Shadows and fading work. But when I launch Cairo-Dock, it has black background, just like compositing doesn't work. (watch the screenshot)

I tried also xorg-edgers ppa but the problem stayed same so I purged it.

When I start xcompmgr from command line, first there are no error messages. But after I have started Cairo-Dock, some errors happen:

elias@elias-laptop:~$ xcompmgr
error 3 request 2 minor 0 serial 3863
error 3 request 20 minor 0 serial 3864
error 9 request 153 minor 1 serial 4198
error 3 request 20 minor 0 serial 4199
error 3 request 15 minor 0 serial 4200
error 9 request 153 minor 1 serial 7719
error 3 request 20 minor 0 serial 7720
error 3 request 15 minor 0 serial 7721
error 3 request 15 minor 0 serial 39000
error 3 request 15 minor 0 serial 43136

I have tried Compiz too, with Emerald, but it didn't work either.

I guess this is not xcompmgr bug but xorg bug, because I can't get Compiz working either.

Hey,

I installed normal Ubuntu 10.10 and it is fine, so unfortunately I can't answer to your possible questions.

I have encountered this with Lubuntu as well. Effects worked fine on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Hey Elias,

Thanks for testing maverick during its development period. Unfortunately it looks like this bug report didn't get attention during the maverick development period. But I see there's not been more comments on the bug since the release, which makes me wonder if this is still an issue for you?

If you've not seen this issue since maverick's release yourself, it may have been solved by kernel or X or other updates that occurred late in the release; if so, would you mind please closing the bug for us? Go to the URL mentioned in this bug report, click the yellow icon(s) in the status column and set to 'Fix Released'.

If you no longer have the hardware needed to reproduce the problem, or otherwise feel the bug no longer needs tracked in Launchpad, you can set the status to 'Invalid'.

If you are the original reporter and still have this issue, just reply to this email saying so. (Or set the bug status to Confirmed.) If you are able to re-test this against 11.04 Natty Narwhal (our current development focus) and find the issue still affects Natty, please also run 'apport-collect <bug-number>' while running natty, which will add fresh logs and debug data, and flag it for the Ubuntu-X development team to look at.
