Title:
unity plugin automatically disabled
Status in Unity:
Invalid
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
The unity plugin was disabled automatically during a software upgrade.
After rebooting and logging in, there was no unity - just a nautilus
menu bar at the top of the screen. Compiz seemed to be working
normally; the workspace switcher hotkeys (ctrl-alt-arrow) worked fine,
for example.
Investigation showed that the Unity plugin in the compiz settings
manager was disabled. When I tried to renable the plugin, compiz
wanted to have a conversation with me about conflicting settings. I
don't have the specific details of those questions, sorry. It was
something to the effect of "enable even though there are conflicts",
then a set of dialogs asking what do do for each specific conflict.
A similar problem was reported here, and the Ubuntu forums also report
problems like this:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/63921/unity-3d-doesnt-work-anymore-just-shows-a-menu-on-the-top
To reproduce:
Install 11.10, then upgrade to whatever is in oneiric-proposed. I am sure
that we did not disable the unity plugin manually.
