raise importance. if compiz is not installed then gnome should launch metacity. debian has the update-alternatives system to deal with these sorts of issues, so it should be easy to fix. ** Changed in: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Importance: Wishlist = Medium -- Uninstalling compiz disables metacity https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132772 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

gnome-session already ships a wrapper script (gnome-wm) which will pick a window manager and launch it if it is available. gnome-wm is the default WM on a fresh install. ** Changed in: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Status: New = Invalid -- Uninstalling compiz disables metacity https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132772 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 132772] Re: Uninstalling compiz disables metacity
I don't know. I don't know what component you would open it against if you did. It's not a gnome-session bug if you set the WM from gnome-wm to compiz, then uninstall compiz. gnome-session will try to start what it is told to start, and if the component is not there then there is not a lot it can do about it. Like I said, we already install and use a wrapper script by default (gnome-wm) to take care of this. -- Uninstalling compiz disables metacity https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132772 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Ah, ok. gnome-wm will try to start compiz by default still. That's a low importance issue though.

[Bug 132772] Re: Uninstalling compiz disables metacity
The attached patch is simply a diff of the current (Hardy) /usr/bin/gnome-wm and the current Debian/unstable /usr/bin/gnome-wm. I've had to fix the Ubuntu version of /usr/bin/gnome-wm for some months every time a new version is installed, since it sets one's wm to compiz whether or not compiz exists on one's system. The Debian version works, so the easier way is just to replace the Ubuntu version with the Debian version, if one has both dists on one's system. ** Attachment added: Changes Ubuntu gnome-wm to Debian gnome-wm http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11077998/diff-gnome-wm-ubuHardy-debUnstable -- Uninstalling compiz disables metacity https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132772 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gnome-session in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 132772] Re: Uninstalling compiz disables metacity
Allan: The problem that we've been facing isn't that the postrm scripts don't run metacity --replace, this could also be a problem if you are uninstalling compiz from within the desktop environment, but we wouldn't have noticed that since we had no running X-terminals at that point. The problem we had (until we patched the gnome-wm script) was that the window manager couldn't be started at all. Frodon: I don't believe these two issues to be related, however, this issue affects the default window manager key, since it is forced to /usr/bin/compiz (even though compiz is not installed) if no window manager is set. -- Uninstalling compiz disables metacity https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132772 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gnome-session in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

It may be related to a bug report i made : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/157780 Basically the command to save the session look at the Gconf key to get the WM name and i noticed this key is not updated which make your session still launching your old WM.

[Bug 132772] Re: Uninstalling compiz disables metacity
More like the postrm script for the compiz package(s) is either broken or missing because metacity should be made to take over the wm duties after compiz is removed. The command: metacity --replace should probably be added to the postrm script if it isn't already. That's just my uneducated opinion. -- Uninstalling compiz disables metacity https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132772 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gnome-session in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
