Comment 25 for bug 277344

CD Live Intrepid has been too big to fit on a 700 mb CD for the last 3 days so I did this test:

1. Boot installed Intrepid with compiz removed but with all the latest updates from the internet. O.K.
2. sudo apt-get install compiz. Note, Visual Effects are set to none. Still running.
3. Restart, with all the latest updates but with compiz installed in step 2. X comes up, orange screen, and laptop is totally hung up with no keyboard response except power off. Won't boot even with Visual Effects previously set to none.
4. Restart in rescue mode, remove compiz, normal boot O.K. without compiz.
5. Happened to have a Gutsy Ubuntu CD Live handy which booted fine, Visual Effects Normal run fine.

This laptop is dual booted with Alpha 5 NOT UPDATED so I can get the failure with latest updated Beta then boot the Alpha 5 to look at logs & messages from the beta if someone would tell me what is significant in addition to all comments above. I don't think this is a failure of this particular laptop alone by scanning the Intrepid Ibex forums there are several posts with similar failures, some of whom have removed compiz with some benefit.

Thanks for your attention, Jerry
