Not a crash. It's Compiz Fuzion's wobbly window's effect on the fritz. The only way I would call it a crash would be if Linux ever did the equivalent of a blue screen (the kernel crashing). Honestly in all my years of using Linux, I have never seen a kernel crash...I'm sure it exists, but Jesus...what would you have to do to crash the Linux Kernel...unless you were making unsafe modifications to the kernel.
It didn't crash, something wrong with compiz or graphics card. Don't get me wrong, any OS can crash and burn. Ubuntu just seems to mess up for me more than Windows... but it's cool. I want to try Mac too.
Don't confuse a window manager glitch with a Linux glitch! A crashing app never brings down the kernel, unlike with some proprietary OSes out there.
A *real* Linux crash involves a painful grinding freeze of the system and flashing Caps Lock and Scroll Lock LEDs on your keyboard. This clearly isn't the case.
A WM crash can be fixed with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace (the "zap" sequence). A kernel crash involves pushing the big red POWER button.
That HAS happened to me though. I'm a noob with ubuntu and wanted to try it out on my gateway 7330gz. It just freezes at random times and i have to manually shut it down. Any ideas on what I can do to make it stop doing that?
Ubuntu Crash? When linux crashes either you get a Kernel panic(which looks nothing like this), or your machine simple restarts. Its just compiz tweaking out, Reboot it'll be fine, Compiz can do that and it is not an essential in linux, so don't point the finger at linux.
Nah, its a Compiz wobbly window spazz. He could probably shut down the offending windows using the system monitor, or go into the terminal to fix it, or the easier one, restart X.
None of which need to restart the kernel, which is doodling along perfectly beneath :D
This is the result of poor configuration of Compiz. If you set the window friction stupidly low (among other similar options) you can wind up with this situation.
LMAO kill the window. Alt+F4 as said, Restart X, switch to a VT and use 'ps -A' and 'kill PID' use gnome-system-monitor, ctrl+alt+backspace. That's not a crash. That a glich in compiz fusion, which is realy just a waste to run.

Haha, that's most definitely NOT supposed to happen! Quick, Linux fanboys assemble! Explain it away!

Shit like this happens with free software like linux, then again windows and apples crash and burn as well, in those cases you paid money for it.

just press alt+F2 and write "metacity --replace", then do wath holymonkey says
"
change the friction on compiz wobbly windows settings to about 3000, you'll be fine. this happened to mine, i couldn't stop laughing!
", turn compiz on again by pressing alt+F2 and writing "compiz --replace"
Then this fictional crash done.
fellipecorr666 3 years ago
Thats not a "real" chrash!
you can usually fix this by ctrl+alt+backspace...
a real chrash is when you get "kernel panics"
(my Arch chrashed and gets panic every time it boots)

Your video card can't handle the graphics. Don't use desktop effects and it'll be fine.

You seem to be still able to interact with Ubuntu... I guess that means it's not a crash.

How can it possibly be a crash if u can move that other window around?!
is it a crash in windows when a window is not responding but u carry on doing something else while it stops messing about?
