[Bug 108720] Re: fiesty fawn - gnome panels not appearing from desk to desk
Hi, I don't know if you'ce solved this or not. I can confirm this bug as I just experienced it. I was just playing around with compiz and rebooted my computer. GNOMEs GL-settings are set to normal workspace-switching appearance. I've found a workaround (see bottom of this mesage). My details: From 'lspci': 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) My Ubuntu version: Ubuntu Feisty $ dpkg -l|grep compiz ii compiz 0.3.6-1ubuntu13 OpenGL window and compositing manager ii compiz-core0.3.6-1ubuntu13 OpenGL window and compositing manager ii compiz-extra 0.3.6.1-0ubuntu2 extra third party plugins for compiz ii compiz-gnome 0.3.6-1ubuntu13 OpenGL window and compositing manager - GNOME window d ii compiz-gtk 0.3.6-1ubuntu13 OpenGL window and compositing manager - Gtk window dec ii compiz-plugins 0.3.6-1ubuntu13 OpenGL window and compositing manager - plugins ii gnome-compiz-manager 0.10.3-0ubuntu1 Compiz Gnome Manager ii libgnome-compiz-manager0 0.10.3-0ubuntu1 Compiz Gnome Manager Gnome version: 2.18.1 My workaround is pretty simple. Just do: 1. Go into Main menu - System - Preferences - GL Desktop. 2. Uncheck the box Enable GL Desktop. 3. Check the box Enable GL Desktop. This workaround resets the number of workspaces I have as well as puts all my open windows in one and the same workspace. but that is another bug already reported. If I experience this again I could try to set number of workspaces to 1 and then increase to my normal of four. -- fiesty fawn - gnome panels not appearing from desk to desk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108720 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 108720] Re: fiesty fawn - gnome panels not appearing from desk to desk
Done some tests and as far as I can tell, this update solves at least something. Seems that improvements started showing after my previous post. Now panels and desktop icons don't disappear when switching desktops. There are a couple of issues, anyway: When I don't use cube rotation, windows disappear from desktop switcher applet, so it is only by guess that i can switch to the right desktop in case of many application opened, because the applet shows correctly the windows only on active desktop. The second issue is: when using the plain old desktop switcher (no cube) one can move windows between the desktop using the right-click menu, and this is the correct behaviour. When using cube, these menu options are missing and it is not so obvious how to move a window to another desktop. This is anyway stated in another bug (i don't remember exactly which one). -- fiesty fawn - gnome panels not appearing from desk to desk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108720 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 108720] Re: fiesty fawn - gnome panels not appearing from desk to desk
Forgot to mention that i don't use cube rotation, since i find the compiz desktop switcher not good as plain gnome desktop switcher. For instance, i can't move a window from one workspace to another one, even with drag drop over desktop switcher (this might be related to #63208). -- fiesty fawn - gnome panels not appearing from desk to desk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108720 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 108720] Re: fiesty fawn - gnome panels not appearing from desk to desk
I have the same problem, on the same pc, with a long time ago installed Feisty 32bit, a fresh 64bit, and a Gutsy 32 bit. I have nvidia card using nvidia restricted drivers included in repositories. Gnome panels and/or desktop icons are only shown on workspace 1. On the other workspaces (i usually have 4 workspaces), i have them missing. Sometimes is missing only the top and bottom panel, sometime also desktop icons. This happens only when compiz is enabled. I never tried Beryl. To solve this, i have to disable and reenable desktop effects every time i login. -- fiesty fawn - gnome panels not appearing from desk to desk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108720 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: [Bug 108720] Re: fiesty fawn - gnome panels not appearing from desk to desk
Not that I know of. I downloaded the beta when the kernel was .12 (now .15) I have kept the machine on daily updates. Machine is a plain semperon 1700+, nvidia agp 660gt Problem occurs regularly enough that I decided to report it. The problem seems to be time related - i.e. machine is idle, gone to screensaver but to standby or hibernation etc. Basically I can have the machine just sitting there with evolution. Everything works properly (I can load apps no problems and move them to other desks) but when I switch to another desk, there are no panels - balloon messages can appear (new song or email received) but I cannot click on the panel to see what it happening. I can alt+tab between open windows but I cannot get to menu's to do anything else. only way around this that I have found so far is, ctrl+alt+backspace or ctrl+alt+f1 and do a shutdown from the console. as a test to see if I have compiz, I ran it from a user xterm with --replace. it works but menu's have disappeared and I cannot close active windows without compiz now running. I will look into compiz to see what it is. - sorry but I havent been using linux much since the very early days and all the new stuff is unresearched. thanks for your interest so far. glenby On Mon, 2007-04-23 at 09:29 +, Sebastien Bacher wrote: Thank you for your bug.
