Comment 66 for bug 145360

Hi Michael,

I used to be able to reproduce this with 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -aup low' (as described above), but with the current configuration (see below) this is no longer possible. I could not do a clean backtrace but Kjell Braden thought me a trick: 'thomas@thomas-laptop:~$ gdb --args compiz.real --replace 2>&1 | tee gdb-compiz.real.txt'. The problem is I am running a direct download now and this crash is fatal. Maybe with all the updates it will work now. I will try it in half an hour unless you beat me to it.

Cheers,

Thomas

My other (possibly related?) 'compiz.real crashed with SIGSEGV' bug is: Bug #183685.
