[Bug 390001] Re: Gnome visual effects not retained after reboot
thank you for your bug report, the visual effect dialog has been deprecated in favor of using login screen session now though so we are closing this bug but don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future. ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Invalid ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Assignee: Ubuntu Desktop Bugs (desktop-bugs) = (unassigned) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/390001 Title: Gnome visual effects not retained after reboot -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 390001] Re: Gnome visual effects not retained after reboot
I found that by booting using Debian Squeeze with the user home directory in a partition shared by Debian and Ubuntu, doing the set up in Debian and rebooting in Debian, the configuration was saved. Booting to Ubuntu then used the save state. So the problem appears to be lack of state saving in Ubuntu rather than jsut using defaults. I use Unison to mirror my home directory between laptop and workstation so that technique cured the problem ont he workstation without having to load Debian at all. The problem is therefore home directory state information with Debian getting it right and Ubuntu not. -- Gnome visual effects not retained after reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/390001 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I've got the same problem with Lucid. I have tried all the NVIDIA drivers found in the search, and they all work fine in the present session. On reboot, however, the visual effects defaults to None and has to be reset.

[Bug 390001] Re: Gnome visual effects not retained after reboot
Isn't the problem actually in GConf? Ever since switching from Metacity to Compiz in Jaunty, the state of the Compiz systems has failed to be stored on logout. In particular, Gnome thinks it is supposed to be using Metacity but Metacity fails to start so no window manager. This means manually setting Compiz and waiting for it to scan the device drivers. The Compiz state is also reset so I have to manually switch of the Snapping Windows which I really dislike. Fianlly the state of the workspace switcher has to be reset to what I want as that fails to be remembered across logins. The upgrade from Karmic to Lucid hasn't helped so I guess this is not a distribution thing, just a configuration thing that doesn't get altered across upgrades. -- Gnome visual effects not retained after reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/390001 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 390001] Re: Gnome visual effects not retained after reboot
I just reported Bug 482539 but it has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. I am not sure that it is but . . . I had Jaunty installed and decided to switch from No visual effects (Metacity) to Normal visual effects (Compiz) after this change Metacity never worked again despite being installed and my chopice of Normal visual effects was not remembered. Thus whenever I log out and login my session starts with no windows manager. So it appears similar to this bug reports except that it is a per session not a per boot issue as the title suggests. Moreover this bug is reported as fixed by switching to Karmic. I have just upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic and I still have the I don't get a window manager on login problem. I have no idea what communication failure there is between Gnome, Metacity, Compiz, etc. but it has clearly broken down in a big way. I should also point out Bug 482538: The Compiz settings that I set up are forgotten across logins as well. All this seems to lead towards a break down of user specified state logging during a session. -- Gnome visual effects not retained after reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/390001 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

This bug is also present on my machine. It is similar to those reported in: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/413385 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-meta/+bug/269292 I found a hint in the gnome-control-center-2.28.1/debian/patches/95_desktop-effects-integration.patch Line: 424 + session_file = g_build_filename (g_get_home_dir (), +.gnome2, +session, +NULL); According to someone in the #ubuntu channel this file (~/.gnome2/session) is obsolete. It is also definitely not present on my system as are several other files mentioned in man gnome-session Instead I find the session files in ~/.config/gnome-session/saved-session Im not sure if that is related to the problem but it might be worth to have a look. In fact I am wondering anyway why the file it deleted anyway since there seems to be no further use in the program anyway nor it is rewritten later. -- Gnome visual effects not retained after reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/390001 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Re: [Bug 390001] Re: Gnome visual effects not retained after reboot
Gentlemen: The reported problem is absolutely repeatable on my machine. When Gnome first starts, all application screens lack the usual minimize, maximize and close icons in the upper right corner of the window. To correct this, I open the Gnome Appearance Panel and the properties indicate that there are NO visual effects. I change this option to Normal Provides improved usability and a good balance between attractiveness and moderate performance requirements. A box stating searching for available drivers appears followed by a dialog asking if I wish to keep the new settings. I select the option to keep the new settings and immediately my cursor options take effect and all windows immediately start displaying the minimize, maximize and close icons, which were previously missing. Everything works as expected from this point on. However after a restart, the visual effects revert to None and again all windows lack the minimize, maximize and close icons in the upper right corner. This was a fresh install of Ubuntu Studio 9.04 and there were no error messages displayed during the installation process. For me, the error is (unfortunately) infinitely repeatable. *Leo C.
