Difficult to declare if it is reproducible on other machines when this behavior is present starting from installation of 9.10 RC. It is definitely reproducible on my comp. I can add following comments after some recent tests...
(1) Black desktop is shown just after login. (2) When trying to change it in Appearance Preferences - Backrounds, then no change is observed. Black desktop screen remains. (3) I am not sure but it may be an graphic driver problem as hardware acceleration of my card (ATI Radeon 9200 SE) is not working - cca 400 FPS in gear test. (I am going to submit this graphic card problem later today as I am not at home now.) (4) Both graphic card acceleration and desktop image was OK in 9.04. However, I used proprietary driver offered by Ubuntu which is not offered in Karmic Koala. -- Cannot set wallpaper. Just black screen intead of selected wallpaper. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/460013 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
