Public bug reported: Binary package hint: unity
Both unity and gnome-panel are run at the same during and ubuntu desktop session whereas this choice in the login windows is supposed to enable the user to choose between the gnome-panel (ubuntu classic desktop) and unity (Ubuntu desktop edition). On my computer, the gnome-panel is not listed in the startup application menu but it is still launching on startup, even though it is usually under the unity panel, it can also be over it (see screenshot). Please note that issuing a pkill gnome-panel through the terminal shuts down the gnome-panel for 1 or 2 seconds, but it reapears directly after that. Also, when the gnome-panel is under the untiy panel (thus invisible) one can still decipher its presence through the workspace-switcher (from the unity panel) (it appears on the top of the workspace label, see screenshot-1) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: unity 3.2.8-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.37-12.26-generic 2.6.37 Uname: Linux 2.6.37-12-generic i686 Architecture: i386 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/allscreens/options/active_plugins' Date: Sun Jan 9 13:34:53 2011 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Alpha i386 (20101202) InstallationMedia_: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Alpha i386 (20101202) MachineType: System manufacturer System Product Name PciDisplay: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc RV530LE [Radeon X1600] [1002:71ce] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_US:en LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_US.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.37-12-generic root=UUID=df25858b-0c16-4a25-9580-53d28970d85a ro vt.handoff=7 quiet splash ProcVersionSignature_: Ubuntu 2.6.37-12.26-generic 2.6.37 RelatedPackageVersions: xserver-xorg 1:7.5+6ubuntu6 libgl1-mesa-glx 7.9+repack-1ubuntu3 libdrm2 2.4.22-2ubuntu1 xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.13.901-2ubuntu2 xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.13.2-1ubuntu2 SourcePackage: unity XorgConf: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' dmi.bios.date: 02/17/2005 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: 080009 dmi.board.name: P4P800SE dmi.board.vendor: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. dmi.board.version: Rev 2.xx dmi.chassis.asset.tag: Asset-1234567890 dmi.chassis.type: 3 dmi.chassis.vendor: Chassis Manufacture dmi.chassis.version: Chassis Version dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvr080009:bd02/17/2005:svnSystemmanufacturer:pnSystemProductName:pvrSystemVersion:rvnASUSTeKComputerInc.:rnP4P800SE:rvrRev2.xx:cvnChassisManufacture:ct3:cvrChassisVersion: dmi.product.name: System Product Name dmi.product.version: System Version dmi.sys.vendor: System manufacturer system: distro = Ubuntu, architecture = i686, kernel = 2.6.37-12-generic ** Affects: unity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 natty running-unity -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/700645 Title: unity and gnome-panel are started on login on ubuntu Desktop edition -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
