[Bug 467668] Re: [regression-release] Neither compiz nor metacity nor nautilus are run at start
Under Ubuntu 9.10, compiz was enabled each time I ran startx. Even though I disabled it through gnome-appearance-properties. Then I upgraded to 10.04, and now I have to manually run gnome-appearance- properties and enable it each time to get a working window manager and decorations. I'd prefer the old 9.10 behaviour of enabling compiz by default but ideally the preference would be remembered between sessions. -- [regression-release] Neither compiz nor metacity nor nautilus are run at start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/467668 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

Hi Doug, Thanks for helping with the tests.
It is hard to get ultimate conclusions as you have a more complex setting with
awn as well. It may be related to deeper bugs in the same direction, namely
lack of backward compatibility in reading user's home.
Yet for most users who had enabled desktop effects, upgraded and now don't have
windows borders, it may be inside .config or at most {.config,.compiz} as Rob's
post suggests.

[Bug 467668] Re: [regression-release] Neither compiz nor metacity nor nautilus are run at start
@Leo Yes, correct. My apologies, I misspoke. What I should have wrote is: What we can be relatively certain of now is that, at a minimum, something within the $HOME/.config folder is implicated as the source of the problem, and at a maximum the source does not extend beyond $HOME. I can say that I don't think that, at least in my case, it's limited to just .config and .compiz -- not long ago (albeit Karmic, not yet Lucid), I move .config, .compiz elsewhere, and also remove .cached, .gconfd, and a few other reasonable candidate cache / session type files/folders from console session (tty1) and then logged in again via gdm (tty7). No joy, still the same problems. Again, just FYI, in case it helps. I expect that, in my and more complicated cases, the solution may simply be to create a new, empty homedir, reconfigure all GUI components again manually, and then repopulate homedir with data and carefully repopulate other dotfiles and dotdirs (i.e., one at a time or in small groups) so as not to re-introduce the entanglement. Just not something that I have time to do right now and I am holding out hope that, once it's determined what the problem is within .config and/or .compiz, the information from that discovery might help me hunt down what's going on in my homedir. Right now, for me, the problem seems to be too much of a complex and complicated interaction.

[Bug 467668] Re: [regression-release] Neither compiz nor metacity nor nautilus are run at start
Hi Rob, Per your request in bug #572617 -- my apologies for mis-posting there -- I removed my workarounds, moved my ~/.config directory to a backup location, reboot the system, and then logged back on. This most decidedly did NOT fix the problem. Indeed, it create quite a mess, wherein, depending on what I tried to fix the mess, I'd get either (a) just a blank desktop with only my desktop background image, that is, no awn, no panels, not right-clicking on the desktop for a menu, simply nothing (in these cases, switching to tty1, I saw that compiz.decorator was running, but not compiz), or (b) a semi-normal desktop but desktop appearances set to none and no awn. Regarding (b), if I selected extra in System Preferences Appearance, well, many things would happen, all of them bad. Sometimes gnome-appeance-properties would then say Searching for drivers and then sometimes it would return to the Appearances dialog and other times it would say Could not set desktop effects. At other times, gnome-appeance-properties would seem to then do something that started a run-away loop; it's hard to explain, but it *seemed* like compiz was continually restarting and/or perhaps fighting with metacity? Nothing did would then restore my desktop to a functional state. Restoring my original .config directory and, either re-enabling my workarounds or not, nothing did the trick. I had to restore my home directory from the previous day and that did, finally, get me back to a working desktop. Thus, I strongly suspect that the problem is NOT just in a user's .config directory. What all happened after I let gnome recreate a .config dir, and the fact that restoring my original .config directory did not fix the problem, are the primary reasons I think this. have other reasons to believe the problem lies not just in the .config directory, due to previous experiences that I've had, but I won't elaborate on them here. I'm probably stating the obvious, but it seems pretty clear that it's some sort of timing / sequencing or coordination issue between multiple components, perhaps compiz and gnome/gconf, maybe even the display drivers and/or metacity? From one of the times that I logged in and my desktop hung at displaying my background image, I've attached: (a) the last 23 lines of my dmesg file -- you can see the nvidia driver cycling, (b) my .xession-errors file from the same point in time. I observed nearly identical behavior on my 1yr old laptop with ATI radeon 3200 HD before implementing my workaround, so I don't think this is just a driver issue, either (although perhaps an interaction). Lastly, I did create a new users and logging in / out as that user, with desktop effects set to extra worked just find, and gnome did not forget that extra had been set for this user. I believe this tells us that the problem is limited to a users home directory, but not limited to just the .config directory. If I have some time soon (I doubt it, but who knows), I may try tackling this in reverse: create a new user *without* the problem and see what I can do to recreate the problem. Hope this helps, and thanks for your efforts on this.

Leo, thank you... in a way =) This indeed fixed the problem, so thank you for that. However, the commands you gave do not move the directories to a backup... They RENAME each directory to the same name, which means it gets erased. Which means, for instance, I've lost all my Chromium extensions (fortunately I had enabled the Synch option, so my bookmarks are safe) and saved passwords. Of course, I've also lost all my configuration files for Compiz, for instance, but that might have been necessary anyway.

Don't worry :-)
Let's refine the search?
You can set back some of the folders to see which ones are causing the problem.
(For example, ***I am assuming you didn't do anything with the backup folder***
to be sure that the problem is in { .config , .compiz }
rsync -a ~/backup/ ~/double-backup-to-keep-chromium-links-even-safer/
rm -rf ~/{.gnome*,.gconf*} ; rsync -a ~/backup/{.gnome*,.gconf*} ~/
Reboot. Should be working well.
rm -rf ~/{.config,.compiz} ; rsync -a ~/backup/{.config,.compiz} ~/
Reboot. Should be as bad as before. )
