Hi Alberts, with Utopic Alpha 1 (flavors) iso-testing approaching next week I should be able to thoroughly test this within the next week. Assuming there are no problems encountered in Utopic I'd like to get this fixed in Trusty before 14.04.1 drops in just over one month.
Do you want me to try and complete the SRU request? I've never done it before but there's a first time for everything. Do you see any regression potential for Trusty? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1332183 Title: Installing gnome-session-flashback in Ubuntu GNOME Trusty provides a Flashback (Compiz) session when compiz is not installed Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Just as the title says, installing 'gnome-session-flashback' in Ubuntu GNOME provides a GNOME Flashback (Compiz) session even though 'compiz' is not installed: lance@lance-desktop:~$ ls /usr/share/xsessions gnome-classic.desktop gnome-fallback-compiz.desktop gnome.desktop gnome-fallback.desktop lance@lance-desktop:~$ apt-cache policy compiz compiz: Installed: (none) Candidate: 1:0.9.11+14.04.20140423-0ubuntu1 Version table: 1:0.9.11+14.04.20140423-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main i386 Packages 1:0.9.11+14.04.20140409-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main i386 Packages This is much more than a minor inconvenience since Ubuntu GNOME has no keyboard shortcut set for killing X out-of-box so, if the user selected auto-login during installation, with no window manager running it can be quite difficult to get back to the login screen to select a different session. The easiest way I found so far is to open a TTY via Ctrl+Alt+F1 and then run "sudo nano /etc/gdm/custom.conf", change "AutomaticLoginEnable=true" to "AutomaticLoginEnable=False", then run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm", followed by "sudo reboot". Then on reboot a working session can be selected. I would hope that there is some way to NOT display a session if it's window manager is not installed.
