Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: metacity
This bug exists in both fedora 10 and ubuntu 8.10 which has Gnome 2.24.
I believe this is a problem with metacity since it doesn't happen with
compiz.
An easy way to reproduce:
1. Make sure Metacity is the window-manager (ie. disable desktop eff
Public bug reported:
A broken CD in the drive causes gdm not to start in ubuntu 8.10 during
boot. After booting when gdm is supposed to start it instead drops to a
console which repeatedly prints out read errors from the CD drive. I was
also unable to eject the CD so I had to restart the computer
FYI I installed fedora 7 test2 in parallel with feisty. It has the same
versions of metacity and xserver but it doesn't show this problem. But
libX11 is still at version 1.0.3 in fedora while feisty has 1.1.1.
Perhaps xcb is the problem?
