[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 572550] Re: Panel utilities not shown on startup using Matrox gfx with compiz
-- PLEASE ADVISE Should I file a separate bug report or should I add my details? Same problem on 2 PC's, I have the same dynamics but - no Matrox, I have an Nvidia binary on one and a generic FLOSS driver on the other. - no panels at all, not partially showing panels. - my very 1st account is not affected, while all subsequent ones are. Since I have both working and borked accounts on the same machines I could provide comparisons. Also, perhaps I can point to a filesystem metadata issue. -- I can reproduce the disappearance in 2 different ways: 1) Just LOGGING INTO the account. Code: adduser username [etc.] Login - panels are there. Logout. Login again. - panels gone. On 1st login, the user's home gets filled with the standard Gnome conffiles. Those Gnome files may be originally generated with a wrong configuration. 2) Don't even use the account, but back up and restore the user's home directory. Code: adduser user username ... cp -avx /home/username /backup-path/username rm -rf /home/username cp -avx /backup-path/username /home/username In this case, /home/username should be a straight copy of the original freshly generated /home/username WITHOUT any Gnome-added conffiles. So a login SHOULD result in a full, fresh Gnome with the panels as on a 1st login. Yet, even on the 1st login, panels gone. IS IT FILESYSTEM METADATA? This is germane to an account losing the panels after a crash / power failure, as that too may impede disk flushing and syncing. A metadata change also happens during a successful login with panels. However, my so far little-used but older personal account is fine. It has survived several login-logout cycles and even one instance of power failure without proper logout. -- Panel utilities not shown on startup using Matrox gfx with compiz https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/572550 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-mga in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 572550] Re: Panel utilities not shown on startup using Matrox gfx with compiz
Changing the theme just helped me out for a moment as the bug reappeared after a reboot/restart. Additionally I tried to apply an automated restore of the genome panel defaults with an script, based on BitHacker's tool (se: http://bithacker.blogspot.com/2010/05/restore-default-gnome-panels-in-ubuntu.html). Here's my mod which disabled all questions and restores both the top and the bottom panel: #!/bin/sh # Originally from: PanelRestore # # GNOME Panel Save / Restore # Writen by PhrankDaChicken # # http://ubuntu.online02.com # # # Updated to add restore defaults by jimjimovich # http://www.starryhope.com # # # Modified to be Autostart capable by: # Michl Schmid # Allgaeuer Kraftwerke GmbH # Am Alten Bahnhof 10 # # D-87521 Sonthofen # # mailto:m.sch...@allgaeukraft.de # http://www.allgaeukraft.de # gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel pkill gnome-panel The problem herein is that the tool only works properly as long as it's started after the GNOME Desktop has been completely started. Right now I haven't found the right position in the GNOME autostart chain to launch the modified script automatically, yet. Hope someone finds a solution in the near future... :-) -- Panel utilities not shown on startup using Matrox gfx with compiz https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/572550 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-mga in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

I confirm this bug. I have the exact same problem. This is my configuration: Fresh Ubuntu 10.04 install. Graphics card Matrox G550. No compiz effects in use. No matter what screen resolution or what theme, the gnome-panels are always only partly visible after boot or logout/login. I also confirm the solution that worked in my case: By completely removing all compiz package by Synaptic, the panels were ok after boot or logout/login. lspci | grep -i matrox 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc.
