@jsalisbury: Alright, thanks. I’m running 3.3.0-030300rc4-generic now. Let’s see how it works out!

This happened to me just now. I killed u2d-shell, because it was rendering wrong already: it left a white vertical column when hiding, obscuring the view to the app underneath. When it restarted, the launcher was only 7,5 icons high (looks like Lohith’s screenshot, though slightly higher). Neither of these symptoms have occurred prior to this.

A new `killall unity-2d-shell` fixed the issue for this session.

Forgot to mention I could reboot after the crash with Alt+PrtSc+REISUB (if that matters).

A crash that threw me (from the desktop) into the console to show the Oops. Hasn’t happened before as to my knowledge, looks different from bug #917668 (which I’m affected by), but similar to bug #886706 (and bug #495322), but kernel bugs are too much out of my league to tell for sure.

Wasn’t doing anything specific that I could reproduce this with currently. At least Chromium, Transmission and Rhythmbox were active during the time.

Syslog has some data, I’ll attach it manually if apport doesn’t bring it in automatically.

I’ll happily do further testing and/or log uploads at request.

@jsalisbury: On this setup, there were seemingly similar freezes before Precise (I was using Lucid until then), but being so far apart and without a reliable recipe for reproducing, I mostly just ignored the issue. To give a clue as to the rarity, an (again seemingly) similar freeze happened just now, for the first time since I reported the bug, so if it’s the same issue, it’s been in hiding for over a month.

Unfortunately the logs didn’t have anything about this crash, and I couldn’t ssh in either. As I have yet to gather any substantial data apart from the little I posted above, there’s no way of knowing whether it’s always been the same issue or not. The symptom on the surface has always been very similar, but I guess that’s true for most freezes are even if brought on by unrelated causes.

I’m not afraid of testing the mainline kernel per se, but I’m hesitant because with this occurence rate, wouldn’t I be trying to prove a negative? Would 2 months without the issue constitute a ’kernel-fixed-upstream’? 6 months? Also, should I install v3.3-rc2-precise as you suggested, or the more recent 3.3-rc4-precise now? If the more recent one, should I then stick to it, or keep upgrading as new mainline kernels are built?

This is my first creation using Inkscape and the first SVG I’ve created, period. I’m quite pleased with it, but also sure it can be better. Feel free to suggest improvements or improve it yourself!

After upgrading Unity to 5.4, the launcher regularly gets stuck on the side despite being set to hide automatically both in Appearance settings and dconf. It does hide initially as it should, but then eventually no longer does and just stays there on top, blocking that part of the app underneath it. It usually then freezes after some time, then crashes and restarts, after which the autohide again works for a while. Before the freeze it does otherwise work save for the autohiding.

This is the report generated from such a crash. I have a feeling the freezing/crashing can be triggered by scrolling the launcher contents (when it’s in the ”stuck” mode).

It should save the shots into your ’Pictures’ directory without launching the GUI now (see Bug #928364). Is that what’s not happening?

Not reproducible under Unity 3D.
