I installed Lubuntu 14.10, then Compiz as window and composite manager, then Emerald from ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 as window decorator. It works nicely, but emerald crashes very often. The window borders just disappear and nothing else happens.
So I ran emerald --replace
in terminal.
On first crash I got
Segmentation fault (Core dumped).
Second crash:
(emerald:15385): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid uninstantiatable type '(null)' in cast to 'GdkDrawable'
(emerald:15385): Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_cairo_create: assertion 'GDK_IS_DRAWABLE (drawable)' failed
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Third crash:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
I was thinking about writing a script or program that would restart emerald if it stopped, but well there must be a better way around...
emerald
was removed in Oneiric and later because it has many FTBFS issues, and other issues, and as such is not really supported software. This site, here, can't help fix Segmentation Faults in compiled software
