Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 771896] Re: No way to save current session
Rudd-O, as i replied earlier in this thread, I've been so frustrated by this that I've already ditched gnome and moved to xfce. It gives me my gnome 2 look and feel and behavior, including flawless session saving. Also, future releases of gnome are going to severely curtail the functionality of nautilus, all on the excuse of being more user friendly. I am truly saddened at the things that have happened to gnome since gnome 2. Tablet UIs are all very well, but they don't make sense for a desktop which is used for much more (by some people at least) than browsing the internet and consuming media like music and videos. As a programmer/power user/kernel, i find unity/gnome 3 completely unusable as a desktop environment. Speaking for myself, at least, as far as gnome 3/unity is concerned, I'm afraid that it's a case of so long and thanks for all the fish / so sad that it should come to this...

Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 771896] Re: No way to save current session
Rudd-O, To add to my previous email, don't table Ubuntu just yet. Install xfce and the other ancillary xfce packages, or try xubuntu (Ubuntu with xfce as the default window manager). Also, correcting a typo in my previous email, i somehow missed out adding the word hacker after the word kernel. Anyway, try Ubuntu with xfce or xubuntu. Ubuntu is a neat distro in other respects - except that it occasionally messes up on the system upgrade :) On Sep 8, 2012 8:31 PM, Beast in Black beast.in.bl...@gmail.com wrote: Rudd-O, as i replied earlier in this thread, I've been so frustrated by this that I've already ditched gnome and moved to xfce.

Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 771896] Re: No way to save current session
Just in case it might help anyone, I'd like to mention that I've given up on this whole thing and switched to using xfce instead of gnome. It allows me to get back my gnome 2 look and feel, and also gives me painless session saving. On Thu, Aug 16, 2012 at 11:21 AM, CSV 771...@bugs.launchpad.net wrote: Thanks again. I have just checked it with dconf-editor and /org/gnome /gnome-session/auto-save-session was set to TRUE already. And, of course, without effect. I reckon that I may have missed the point of this bug mistaken GNOME_SESSION_SAVE for AUTO_SAVE_SESSION, as my problem is that my session isn't auto-saved upon shutdown and recovered at startup as it was with Ubuntu 10.04's GNOME 2. -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to a duplicate bug report (780714). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/771896 Title: No way to save current session Status in Release Notes for Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gnome-session” source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in “gnome-session” source package in Quantal: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-session There is no way I can find to set up a session the way you'd like to have Unity start up and then save that setup.
