Bug#1065666: Compiz 0.8.18 appears to be broken in testing
Hello James,
Unfortunately I can't test this for the moment, but:

This address is listed as a maintainer on the Compiz package search
page. 0.8.18 black screens on boot after a recent update when building a
iso with livebuild. I have been building the xfce-Compiz iso for about 4
months without issue. The xfce (testing amd64) iso is built without
errors, but it is unusable with the black screen. Rebuilding the source
package does not fix it.
Are you sure you're not using unstable? FWIW, there's no recent changes
to the Compiz packages in testing, last ones were from about a year ago.
However, there's a large transition currently happening in unstable,
which affects Compiz as well. Maybe it could have an unknown side
effect you're seeing?
I cant seem to get any more info with the black
screen, ctrl+alt+F(any number) stays a black screen and booting into
safe mode also results in a black screen. Xfce images without compiz
build and work fine.
Maybe you could try SSHing to the machine to gather more data? Or
possibly access the logs any other way?
It could possibly be fairly unrelated to Compiz itself, but rather
something else in the graphic stack (OpenGL? so maybe mesa, the kernel
or something?) that affects Compiz more than others?
Anyway, I'm CCing Steve (who did the unstable NMU) and Samuel in case
they have extra clues.
Note that you probably should report a bug, although it's understandably
harder with scarce data to reference.
Regards,
Colomban
