[Bug 890096] Re: icon text on the desktop is unreadable using a dark/black background
I seriously doubt this was a driver problem. Rather I think it was a gnome-settings-daemon thing that is fixed for a while already. ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) Status: New = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/890096 Title: icon text on the desktop is unreadable using a dark/black background To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/890096/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thank you for your bug report, that's nautilus doing the drawing but it should works with any color, could you make a screenshot of an open nautilus dialog? ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/890096 Title: icon text on the desktop is unreadable using a dark/black background To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/890096/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 890096] Re: icon text on the desktop is unreadable using a dark/black background
This behaviour is dependent on the graphics driver used and configuration, and there are other associated issues. The system (a laptop) has its own display (A) and is connected to an external display (B) and has an NVidia graphics card. 1. nouveau driver (either or both displays active) Works in this case (text rendered white with a black shadow and is readable in all background configurations); nautilus renders correctly. 2. nvidia without custom Xorg configuration (display A enabled, display B disabled) Works as (1). 3. nvidia with custom Xorg configuration (display A disabled, display B enabled) Displays an error on startup and nautilus and other GTK+3 apps do not use the selected theme (render in a Win9x-style 2.5D theme). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/890096 Title: icon text on the desktop is unreadable using a dark/black background To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/890096/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

A search on google found: http://askubuntu.com/questions/67337/how-do-i
-get-rid-of-this-monitor-error
Running the following:
$ rm ${HOME}/.config/monitors.xml
fixed the issues (no error dialog on startup; nautilus using ambiance
theme; text displaying properly on desktop).
Therefore, this bug is with the System Settings Additional Drivers
dialog -- when enabling the NVidia driver, it should move monitors.xml
to a different location and restore when removing the driver.

A more robust solution would be to not use the monitors.xml file when the NVidia driver is used, or make it more tolerant of errors. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/890096 Title: icon text on the desktop is unreadable using a dark/black background To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/890096/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
