Subject: compiz crashes if the browser loads certain images

Date: Thu, 03 Feb 2011 09:02:23 -0500

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: compiz
Version: 0.8.4-4
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

If you load an image (e.g.
http://www.waynedorrington.co.uk/blog/wp-
content/uploads/2010/10/doctor_who_infographic1.jpg ) in the browser than
compiz will crash.  I can restart it by switching to tty1 and running 'compiz
--display :0.0' or restarting the x-server entirely.  If the output of compiz
is needed after the crash I can attempt to get that just please let me know
what you need.  I've attached the output of dmesg after the crash  I don't
think it matters what browser you use (firefox 4,
iceweasel, chormium, opera).

The dmesg output indicates an issue in the radeon kernel module rather
than in compiz. Can you also provide dmesg from before the crash? Make
sure it contains all the initialization output from the radeon kernel
module.

    Here is the dmesg output before a crash.  There is a decent amount
of stuff there about the radeon driver.  Can I somehow change the
package on the bug?

If you can increase the size of the AGP aperture in the BIOS setup, that
should help for this particular problem, but it could still happen with
even larger objects. More recent kernels have some improvements for
dealing with this problem.

Doing this via the commands at the top of this mail to
control@bugs.debian.org (in BCC to avoid followups going there as well).

Hm, sorry we missed this before.  Sounds vaguely familiar.  What kernel are
you using these days?  Can you still reproduce this with current squeeze
kernels?

If so, please attach full output from "reportbug --template
xserver-xorg-video-radeon" and from "dmesg" so we can get to know your
hardware better.

Thanks,
Jonathan

This's not a surprising issue with Radeon.

If only I can get the graphics chip through lspci......

Subject: Closing bugs assigned to linux-2.6 package

Date: Sun, 07 Feb 2016 22:43:08 +0000

Version: 3.4.1-1~experimental.1+rm

Debian 6.0 Long Term Support has now ended, and the 'linux-2.6' source
package will no longer be updated.  This bug is being closed on the
assumption that it does not affect the kernel versions in newer Debian
releases.

If you can still reproduce this bug in a newer release, please reopen
the bug report and reassign it to 'src:linux' and the affected version
of the package.  You can find the package version for the running
kernel by running:

    uname -v

or the versions of all installed kernel packages by running:

    dpkg -l 'linux-image-[34]*' | grep ^.i

and looking at the third column.

I apologise that we weren't able to provide a specific resolution for
this bug.

Ben.
