Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

Starting compiz with the unity plugin enabled results in a segmentation fault. Same if the plugin gets activated after starting compiz without it (via ccsm).

Before the crash I can see the top panel, the launcher bar with workspace switcher and trash launcher icons and then it dies.

Console output and backtrace attached (bt, bt full, thread apply bt full).

Using Nvidia's BLOB 260.19.21-0ubuntu1, no interesting PPAs (GNOME3, xorg-edgers) enabled.

Seems to be caused by those missing .desktop files in "com.canonical.Unity.Launcher favorites". I used "gsettings set" to replace the list of favorites without the tow missing files and now Unity starts fine.

I just moved my cheese.desktop and confirmed that unity does indeed crash if a favorite is missing.

For me, with the default Live CD, I'm hitting this bug with ubuntuone-control-panel-gtk.desktop being the missing .desktop file. Here's the default favorites as of now:

['ubiquity-gtkui.desktop', 'nautilus.desktop', 'firefox.desktop', 'ubuntuone-control-panel-gtk.desktop', 'tomboy.desktop', '/home/ubuntu/Desktop/examples.desktop']

The only one missing is the ubuntuone one.

Scratch that. With further testing, my crash is not due to the missing ubuntuone-control-panel-gtk.desktop file, but rather /home/ubuntu/Desktop/examples.desktop. Removing that from my favorites fixes the crash.

The issue could be fix with lp:~canonical-dx-team/unity/unity.fix-682345, if anybody feels like rebuilding unity

The fix here avoids the crash: lp:~canonical-dx-team/unity/unity.fix-682345
This is temporary until a proper correction is made with the favorites.

I'm no longer sure this is due to missing desktop files as I just removed that examples.desktop file from the live CD and the warning message was:

WARNING **: Unable to load desktop file: /home/ubuntu/Desktop/examples.desktop

plus:

WARNING **: Unable to load GDesktopAppInfo for 'ubuntuone-control-panel-gtk.desktop' (which is not present on the live CD)

Both files missing, yet Compiz/Unity loaded just fine.

Summary: the crash is caused by having non-application .desktop files in the launcher favorites list.

In my case it was caused by some link type .desktop files in my home dir, which were added to the favorites by the migration script (I didn't run it manually, I swear :-)).
