<chrisccoulson> mac_v - you're restoring from a saved session which seems to be broken <chrisccoulson> mac_v - WARNING: Could not launch application '108f965d3aada14f25125765658777116800000018040038.desktop': Unable to start application: Failed to execute child process "/usr/bin/compiz.real" (No such file or directory) <chrisccoulson> that's the wrong restart command for compiz ;) <mac_v> chrisccoulson: ever since , I installed Lucid on a separate partition ... I'm using same /home for both lucid and karmic <chrisccoulson> mac_v - that's why <chrisccoulson> what has happened is, you've saved a session in karmic (where compiz set the restart command to /usr/bin/compiz.real) <chrisccoulson> and then tried to restore it in lucid, where /usr/bin/compiz.real no longer exists <mac_v> chrisccoulson: ah.. ok , how do i remove it? <chrisccoulson> mac_v - you can just delete ~/.config/gnome-session/saved-session
Thanks to Chris , the problem is fixed here... But chris mentions : <chrisccoulson> mac_v - cool. it's still a bug though, as it will break in the same way on upgrade for anybody using session saving <chrisccoulson> i'm just wondering if gnome-session should check the existence of the executable when loading saved session info , to handle things like upgrades Hence , I'v not closed the bug. ** Description changed: Binary package hint: gnome-session In Lucid alpha 1 , user session starts without any window manager , i'm having to use the fusion-icon at every login and once i do a "reload window manager" , the window manager[compiz] works fine.
