Title: unity --reset caused unity work incorrectly and lists many errors Status in Unity: Confirmed Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: A thunderstorm interrupted my upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 so I had to do a clean install. I didn't have 12.04 on disc so installed 11.10 then upgraded to 12.04 without installing any updates to 11.10. After upgrading to 12.04, I removed various packages I didn't want (mostly all the stuff in indicator-messages and also indicator- messages itself). Then, I installed some stuff, including CompizConfig settings manager. Then, I added stuff to the white-list with *gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist ['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Wine', 'Update-notifier', 'gnote', 'checkgmail', 'Vuze', 'Opera']* After updating the whitelist, rather than log out and back in, I ran *unity --reset*. That's when everything went wrong. After many reboots and installing and removing the *NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver*, Unity never fully recovered. I'm seeing all the problems described here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/126221/12-04-ui- problems/127238#127238 In addition, CompizConfig settings manager is being ignored. I mean whatever changes I make there, nothing changes with Unity. Before I did the unity --reset, CompizConfig settings manager was working. Here is the terminal output from unity --reset: colin@colin-System:~$ unity --reset WARNING: Unity currently default profile, so switching to metacity while resetting the values unity- panel-service: no process found Checking if settings need to be migrated ...no Checking if internal files need to be migrated ...yes [LOG]: Moving Internal Files [LOG]: Copying subdirectory from /home/colin/.compiz/session to /home/colin/.compiz-1/session [LOG]: Copied file /home/colin/.compiz/session/10c92a48a7369e2509133558984517518200000016210007 to /home/colin/.compiz-1/session/10c92a48a7369e2509133558984517518200000016210007 [LOG]: Successfully moved internal files Backend : gconf Integration : true Profile : unity Adding plugins Initializing core options...done compiz (core) - Warn: failed to receive ConfigureNotify event on 0x1a00004 compiz (core) - Warn: failed to receive ConfigureNotify event on 0x1400002 compiz (core) - Warn: failed to receive ConfigureNotify event on 0x1200002 compiz (core) - Warn: failed to receive ConfigureNotify event on 0x2c00027 compiz (core) - Warn: failed to receive ConfigureNotify event on 0x22000b8 Initializing composite options...done nvfx_screen_get_param:95 - Warning: unknown PIPE_CAP 30 nvfx_screen_get_param:95 - Warning: unknown PIPE_CAP 30 nvfx_screen_get_param:95 - Warning: unknown PIPE_CAP 55 nvfx_screen_get_param:95 - Warning: unknown PIPE_CAP 56 nvfx_screen_get_param:95 - Warning: unknown PIPE_CAP 59 nvfx_screen_get_param:95 - Warning: unknown PIPE_CAP 58 nvfx_screen_get_param:95 - Warning: unknown PIPE_CAP 30 Initializing opengl options...done Initializing decor options...done Initializing vpswitch options...done Initializing snap options...done Initializing mousepoll options...done Initializing resize options...done Initializing place options...done Initializing move options...done Initializing wall options...done Initializing grid options...done I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/home/colin/.compiz/session/10bd50ce0595fafd44133563577241899000000016290007" Initializing session options...done Initializing gnomecompat options...done Initializing animation options...done Initializing fade options...done Initializing unitymtgrabhandles options...done Initializing workarounds options...done Initializing scale options...done compiz (expo) - Warn: failed to bind image to texture Initializing expo options...done Initializing ezoom options...done Screen geometry changed: 0x0x1360x768 (compiz:2870): GConf-CRITICAL **: gconf_client_add_dir: assertion gconf_valid_key (dirname, NULL)' failed Initializing unityshell options...done compiz (core) - Warn: unhandled ConfigureNotify on 0xc00090! compiz (core) - Warn: this should never happen. you should probably file a bug about this. compiz (core) - Warn: unhandled ConfigureNotify on 0xc00093! compiz (core) - Warn: this should never happen. you should probably file a bug about this. compiz (core) - Warn: unhandled ConfigureNotify on 0xc00096! compiz (core) - Warn: this should never happen. you should probably file a bug about this. compiz (core) - Warn: unhandled ConfigureNotify on 0xc00099! compiz (core) - Warn: this should never happen. you should probably file a bug about this. compiz (core) - Warn: unhandled ConfigureNotify on 0xc0009c! compiz (core) - Warn: this should never happen. you should probably file a bug about this. compiz (core) - Warn: unhandled ConfigureNotify on 0xc0009c! compiz (core) - Warn: this should never happen. you should probably file a bug about this.
