Hi @Ryan, Thanks for advice. Unfortunately, fixing only gnome-session won't fix gnome-flashback.
Actually I've already fixed it in my PPA (ppa:eugenesan/ppa). Among the changes are: 1. Migration from metacity to xfwm4. 2. Backporting and tweaking of: gnome-desktop3, gnome-panel, gnome-session, indicator-appmenu, ubuntu-themes. 3. Introduction of optional but highly recommended: gnome-wndow-applets, cardapio and gnome-flashback-desktop. debdiffs and new packages are available in my PPA. However, due to the nature and the amount of changes, we need maintainers of Ubuntu-UX and/or gnome-flashback(panel) to step in. In mean time, anyone interested in "unity-2d" like environment for light/virtualized/NX/X/VNC desktop environments, can add my PPA and install gnome-flashback-desktop. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1251281 Title: gnome-flashback (metacity) fails to start without hardware acceleration, cloud/remote environments (Forwarded-X/XRDP/VNC/NX/X2GO/Chromoting) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1251281/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
