[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1380095] Re: Gnome Fallback[s] don't work in 14.04. Work once ONLY if reinstalled
Not sure if there is easy way to repair your sistem. I would suggest to try clean install. You have log file full of warnings about missing programs. You have put many launchers on panel, bet programs does not exist for them anymore. This is what I see from log messages. You say that clicking on panel makes it crash/disappear. It could crash because panel fails to find program you try to launch. If so this is definetly bug as panel should not crash in such cases (I have no time to verify this). If you run programs from terminal and then close terminal it won't close only terminal, it will close all other programs you launched from terminal. Add ' ' at the end of programs names when you launch applications - 'gnome-panel --replace ' . And if you want close terminal don't do it by clicking close button but type 'exit' command in terminal. You can see your username in terminal. -- 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/1380095 Title: Gnome Fallback[s] don't work in 14.04.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1380095] Re: Gnome Fallback[s] don't work in 14.04. Work once ONLY if reinstalled
Are you using default theme - Ambiance? Then panels should not be black. I wanted that you change back to system theme to check if problem is in custom style. I know one person who had problems with transparent panels. Problem disappeared when he changed settings back to system theme. Transparency does not work fully anyway so I would suggest to use system theme for now. I have plans on fixing panel background, but that probably wont happen this year - so background probably will be broken even in ubuntu 15.04 version. :( Reinstall wont solve anything. You can try to reset gnome-panel configuration (see accepted answer): http://askubuntu.com/questions/125662/how-to-reset-gnome-panel NOTE: It will remove all your customization to panel and will reset to default. Then try if now gnome-panel starts every time you login. If all good try to start customize it step by step: 1) Add custom launcher - do several reboots. 2) Try to customize panel style - do serveral reboots.

Under each panel there should be one more step - background. But only if you have changed background settings. 4) Under each background you need to reset 'type' to 'none' If background was only problem then now you should be able to use flashback session. OK. I got into Gnome and then dconf editor - made the changes you said - but didn't see a 'save' option...so just closed [have NO idea if they were saved]. Now I'm in fallback and the panels look the way I had changed them to look [not the default black]. So don't know yet if this will again now not work when I'm back inwill try soon and report.

Hello. Thanks for the quick reply. Are you the 'gnome' behind Gnome? My responses between yours.

It is transitional package and does not contain anyting. Problem is somewhere else. This package can be removed. Surprisingboth that is can be removed and that it always [100% of the time] will temporarily solve the problem for the next session only! 3. GNOME Fallback is now called GNOME Flashback. I'll take a look in synaptic...again, such renamings are not known to the average user and create confusion. You who work with and build the programs know these things - but most do not - and have need to know [or not have names changed]. I don't understand why there are now two flavors of 'fallback'. Have you tried to re-select session from login screen? GNOME Flashback (Metacity) and/or GNOME Flashback (Compiz). Yes, many times. The two both will not work. Other desktops seem to work - I just don't like them and it is fallback that has my years of personalization [most, not all of it, carried over from 12.04-14.04 Maybe there is some problems upgrading from 12.04 to 14.04. Likely - and it is frustrating that while the system prompts for hitting the upgrade button [as if all will go well], Linux geeks always advise a 'clean install'. I'd do a clean install if someone would tell me [or point to a url instructing how to QUICKLY [no more than a day's work] get back what I had before in: programs, basic look, and functionality. I have a package list, but once before [when upgrading into 12.04] tried to run that on a clean install, all I got was a */mess/*no doubt because many of the packages are not supported by the new distribution and/or dependencies are not met or different, etc. I understand that theoretically, but not how to run it so that this doesn't cause problems. This upgrade otherwise seems to have gone OK [had to reinstall grub and fight with new AMD drivers - taking several days for mebut then I thought it was good to go and liked the new featuresbut...the problem is now persistent and I'm using 12.04 most of the time again. Are you using extra ppa? In tags there is gnome3-ppa. I believe I have 3.10 - I have not tried to install 3.14. I thought 3.10 was the basic one in 14.04 but I could be wrong. Again, such things are not explained nor told to the average user and endless research on the internet I do only as needed [which is often]. A weekly newsletter of changes, common problems etc. might be a good idea from the geeks and developers to the average user. Not sure, but this might cause problems if there is installed newer GNOME components. newer than what? What should I..and how can I 'downgrade' if too high now? Can you right click on desktop? Is nautilus autostarted or you are getting completly empty screen. I can't do ANYTHNG - no keyboard or mouse clicks do anything...though the mouse cursor moves. The folders and icons on the desktop are there - but NO panels [which have my launchers]. I can't get a terminal...so must push the button on the computer to turn off and back onannoying and likely bad for the system too. Can you attach extra log file? I would like to see ~/.cache/upstart /gnome-session-Unity.log. After you fail to login, restart PC and then login in GNOME session (not in Unity), then attach asked file. Yes, I need gnome-session-Unity.log, don't ask why. Hmmm.I'm in 12.04 now and will send that in a few hours. sorry to not have noticed this request before starting. Don't worry, I won't ask why. ;-) Thanks again! gnome log coming soon. Just made a note..but must get some work done first.

Work once ONLY if reinstalled Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: While the computer is saying its a problem with gnome-panel, I keep re-installing gnome-session-fallback. It will work [in either flavor of fallback (no idea why there are now two!) ONE TIME - but the next time I get a screen with NO panels and NO keyboard shortcuts are recognized (so I can't even get a terminal). All I can do is hard shut-down of computer; restart into gnome or unity or some others (which I do NOT like to use!). I have done this MANY times now. It never stays 'done'. Am going back to my copy ov 12.04 until someone can tell me why or how to make one of the fallbacks (hopefully both) work every time I sign in to 14.04.
