No whitelisted driver found aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity although, as I say, nvidia's closed driver (v 173.14.12-0ubuntu5) and the relevant kernel module are installed. any suggestions? ** Attachment added: "stdout" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17006249/stdout ** Visibility changed to: Public -- gnome-settings-daemon crashed with signal 5 in xkl_process_error() (on trying to activate desktop-effects) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/260165 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
