Chady, that blank space is clearly Onboard and it's probably crashing on startup. Please be so kind and run these commands in a terminal and post the output: $ locale $ onboard
We had a couple of issues with translations lately, It might be that French on Oneiric is affected too. Version 0.97.1 in the snapshot PPA Francesco mentioned above should be a bit more robust. If you have the chance, please try it and let us know how it goes. ** Changed in: onboard (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/967370 Title: Onboard appears blank after waking up from standby mode or the lockscreen.
