[Bug 649809] Re: Meerkat (10.10) does not apply theme properly

2011-02-07 Thread Sebastien Bacher
Thank you for commenting on this bug, there is no need to new comments
to confirm or describe the issue though, what is happening is a race
between the login settings manager and the session one on modern
configurations, now what needs to be done is fro someone writting a fix
to make sure the login settings daemon exists before the session on
starts

Definitely related to SSDs. Installed 10.04 and 10.10 on HDD and SDD.
Occured only on the latter, in vanilla setup.

** (gnome-settings-daemon:1941): WARNING **: You can only run one xsettings 
manager at a time; exiting
** (gnome-settings-daemon:1941): WARNING **: Unable to start xsettings manager:

My workaround so far is to kill gsd and nautilus manually:

killall -9 gnome-settings-daemon  gnome-settings-daemon  killall
nautilus

just had it on my dad's machine. No SSD here. Maybe SSDs make it only more 
likely.
However, I did install a new graphic card (Nvidia GTX 570). Not sure if I had 
it before, though.

Solved it with workaround described in #68

2011-02-06 Thread Lukas Z.
I suspect this problem to be connected with the overall performance of
the computer. There is most probably a race condition between gnome
settings and gnome, because as far as all posts go it can be easily
fixed by waiting for two seconds before trying to load gnome settings. I
have many computers with 10.10 running and only the best one (i7 820,
SSD) is having this problem, but not always, it is about 50/50.

2011-02-06 Thread Marco Biscaro
There is no specific hardware (HD type, or processor, or graphic card).

It occurs on race conditions (on fast computers, or on slow ones). In my
case, I have a slow speed HDD (and affect by ext4 problems, it comes
even more slow) and the problem occurs with frequence.

Maybe it is a GDM bug, that must assert that the gnome-settings-daemon
is killed before start the session.

I also have the same problem.

Intel i7-620LM, OCZ Vertex 2 SSD, Intel Corporation Core Processor
Integrated Graphics Controller (in the i7). So this doesn't seem to be a
NVidia issue. The sleeping workaround didn't work for me (starting a
gnome-session without a gnome-panel nor metacity, but with compiz and
avant-window-navigator). I ended up replacing gdm by kdm, which worked
perfectly.

case of most users who have initiated this thread, the bug *is* 100%

I did a clean install (10.10 64-bit) and the issue persists. But unlike

drivers installed?
I have and am having the issue

-- how did you install the nvidia drivers?
Installed the binary via Ubuntu suggesting it.

-- do you get the issue using nouveau?
Not when I've used it, but I haven't used it a great deal 

-- can you change the theme in the gnome-appearance-properties dialog? 
Yes but only partially. The top panel (my only panel), Nautilis and the desktop 
context menu remain unchanged. Applications have the theme applied, and context 
menus are themed within the applicaiton.

-- is starting it enough to get your theme used?
Most times this will apply the theme to the panel, however Nautilis and the 
desktop context menu are remain unchanged.

Hope this helps?

Thanks for confirming that it's not a driver problem -- I took the
liberty to mark the nvidia-bug as invalid.

I also found a workaround: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1615358
With that workaround, the GDM doesn't get themed, but the desktop shows 
correctly.

I hit those bug as well (Core i7, SSD, P55, 8800GTX) -- but I don't
think it's related to the nVidia proprietary drivers: Even without those
drivers, on first booting after installation, I get grey GNOME default
panels.

Also note that everything works fine when I use a jfs partition on the
SSD, but doesn't work when I install on an ext3 or ext4 one.

I must concur as well.  I faced the same problem even with the nouveau
drivers.  So I don't feel its related to the nvidia drivers as well.

I did install ubuntu on a SSD under ext3 as well.

For the situation where gnome-settings-daemon is running fine after startup but

It seams this effect faster setups like Core i7 installed on SSD drives.

Paul, I also had this problem about large CPU spikes.
It's a known nvidia bug with the nvidia drivers found with the Additional

It can be fixed up by downloading the latest nvidia driver from nvidia's

If you wish.

#649809 (this issue):
- describes a problem in which the entire gnome desktop reverts to the default 
theme on boot, except the theme selector window
- occurs only in 10.10, not in 10.04
- affects only systems which have a X58-chipset, proprietary Nvidia-driver, and 
SSD-drive
- is 100% solvable by applying the workaround in #68

#500417:
- describes a problem where nautilus does not honor the theme settings for its 
internal window, but the rest of the desktop is unaffected
- occurs in both 10.04 and 10.10
- affects a variety of system setups
- is not solvable by applying the workaround in #68 of this issue

2010-11-19 Thread bastafidli
Actually, if you read through the comments of #500417 the scenario when
nautilus doesn't honor the theme is just one special scenario of that
defect and in the comments it is expanded that randomly either the whole
desktop or just the nautilus doesn't honor the theme.

I am on Dell Precision 5500 (dual xeon, 4 core each, no ssd, dual nvidia
quatro with proprietary driver) on 10.10 and I am experiencing the same
problem as you have described entire gnome desktop reverts to the
default theme on boot, except the theme selector window. The #68
doesn't fixes it and #70 fixes it except the icons on the desktop in
nautilus and which remains still from the old theme.

From the user perspective the behavior for these two defects is exactly
the same. You have narrowed it down to one hardware configuration where
it always occurs and one workaround which for this hardware
configuration always fixes it, but in my opinion/experience the problem
affects more than just this one hardware configuration and since it is
most likely a race condition or timing issue of some sort, the success
rate of the workaround is just a pure luck and coincidence rather than a
fix.

The underlying issue for both of these defects is exactly same.
Something happens between gnome-systems-settings and nautilus which
causes the entire desktop to revert to the default theme. Changing
timing of the start or restarting gnome-settings-daemon seems to fix
some effects of this problem but not necessarily all of them.

Even if these defects are not duplicates they are at least related since
the underlying issue for both of them is the same.

It happens 100% of the time after I do clean install of 10.10, install

2010-11-06 Thread Rhubarb
Have just re-installed a fresh copy of 10.10 up-to-date as of today.  The bug 
still effects me.
After applying Kenneth's fix (see comment #68) all is working well.

I've done a little digging around, and it seems there is no elegant way to get 
it working.
I can't find an elegant way to get 
/etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-settings-daemon.desktop to load after everything else.

The following doesn't enable one to choose which applications upon login to 
load in serial (or have requisite apps loaded beforehand):
http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html

I did notice a symlink in /etc/xdg/autostart/nvidia-autostart.desktop that 
links with /etc/alternatives/nvidia-autostart.desktop
which in-turn links with /usr/share/nvidia-current/nvidia-autostart.desktop 
(see attached)
Which essentially has:
Exec=sh -c '/usr/bin/nvidia-settings --load-config-only'

I deleted the link /etc/xdg/autostart/nvidia-autostart.desktop to see if it 
made any difference.
It turns out it seems to make no difference at all if 
gnome-settings-daemon.desktop is configured to:-
* not start at all - get ugly theme
* start immediately (default setting) - get ugly theme
* start after 1 or 2 seconds (which is Kenneth's fix) - theme works nicely

I hope there's an elegant fix for all this, so it can be sent out to
patch other existing maverick users.

2010-11-05 Thread David Cameron
I am seeing a similar problem with a new install of Ubuntu 10.04 AMD64
with Nvidia 173... drivers and two video cards.  It does appear to be a
race condition, however the fix from post #68 does not work for me.

The problem can be reliably reproduced (or not) with the following
steps:

1.  log in normally.
2. activate switch user in the gui;  a new xsession starts with a password 
entry box
3. enter the password.  when typing in the password, the 'dots' in the password 
box do not echo immediately.
4. now do one of two things:
  a. immediately hit enter - the new session starts with the wrong theme
  b. wait until the 'dots' echo before hitting enter - the new session starts 
correctly with the correct theme.

looking at .xsession-errors , the difference between a 'good' login and
a 'bad' one appears to be:

** (gnome-settings-daemon:4748): WARNING **: You can only run one
xsettings manager at a time; exiting

** (gnome-settings-daemon:4748): WARNING **: Unable to start xsettings manager: 
Could not initialize xsettings manager.
Failed to play sound: Sound disabled
Unable to find a synaptics device.


Hope that helps locate the problem.

there is no reason reinstalled gnome-settings-daemon should make any

No autologin. It happened at every login, except just once, on

Since I delayed the loading of gnome-settings-daemon with 2 seconds as

Is it possible xsettings manager is loaded in gdm at login and not

don't follow comment #70 suggesting to remove the nautilus gconf

nautilus is enough to pick the new theme

can you change the theme in the gnome-appearance-properties dialog? is

When I try to change the theme in the gnome-appearance-properties only

Speaking only for myself, yes.

Nouveau doesn't seem to have this issue, but it's very limited
otherwise.


 - how did you install the nvidia drivers?


Two ways: by activating the proprietary driver suggested by Ubuntu, and also
by using the installer downloaded from nVidia. The result was the same in
both cases.

No, on both accounts.

Yes on the nvidia driver. When I enabled the nvidia driver, that is when the
problem started. nouveau worked fine except it would not let me do any
resolutions higher than 1280 x 1024 , which looked awful on my HD monitor. I
can also confirm that installing the nvidia proprietary driver via nvidias

I also have an SSD so core i-7, x-58, nvidia driver, and SSD seem like a
common theme. I already did a clean re-install of 10.04 so i can't test or
post any logs, but I wanted to note the hardware commonality.

I'll add my .xsession-errors later from home.

One thing I've noticed which is way more damaging is that the .xsession-
errors and .xsession-errors.old quickly fill up my home partition by
repeatedly logging the same error. After about 15 mins the 19 gig free
space in my home partition is gone causing all sorts of problems with
software trying to save and read from their cache. Deleteing the
.xsession-errors* solves the problem until I reboot.

Building on it being an SSD/race problem, I decided to add a delay
before gnome-settings-daemon would start. The relevant file that I
changed was /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-settings-daemon.desktop. I changed
the line:

Exec=/usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon

to this:

Exec=bash -c sleep 2; /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-
daemon

to add a 2 second delay. And after rebooting, the theme is now properly
applied. Hope this helps in finding a proper fix.

2010-11-02 Thread Ernesto Gutierrez
Guys, I must admit I jumped the gun a bit with my solution on #54.  That
is not the real fix.

To tell if your problem is the race condition I mentioned run the
following 2 commands:

killall -9 gnome-settings-daemon
gnome-settings-daemon

At this point, your theme should be applied properly.  Nautilus however
should not be playing nice and still showing the ugly gray theme.  Run
these command, it will reset nautilus:

rm -vr ~/.gconf/apps/nautilus  killall nautilus

After this, your theme should be fully operational :)

If somebody could enlighten us on what exactly is causing the problem it
would be great.

Gentlemen, I bring great news!
It seems the problem we are facing has to do with the fact that your desktop 
starts before gnome-settings-daemon does (the timing is off).

By following the tips on this thread
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1594010highlight=GTK+theme I
managed to fix my problem by simply running this command:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-settings-daemon

See the thread for details.  Hopes this solves the problem for everyone.

Not sure if because I installed ubuntu on a solid state drive is the
root cause for this timing issue.

Just to let everyone know that since installing Arch Linux with Gnome and the 
latest nVidia drivers:
* I don't have the Gnome theme issue anymore (as I did when running Ubuntu 
10.10)
* I don't get any random freeze-ups that last about 8 seconds (as I did when 
running Ubuntu 10.04)

Here's some info about what I'm presently running:-
Software:
* Arch Linux fully updated as of 28/10/2010
* Gnome 2.32.0
* nVidia 260.19.12
* Linux kernel 2.6.35 x86_64
* Xorg 1.9.0

Hardware:
* Intel Core i7 975 @ 3.3GHz
* 6GB DDR3 RAM
* 27 monitor (@ 2048x1152 res)
* GeForce GTX 275 896MB
* X58 motherboard chipset
* Lots of Intel ICH10 family stuff on the motherboard

I'll continue to check here to see if there's been any progress in
future, as I do prefer to use Ubuntu if things will work for me.

Same bug applies for me with a new installed Ubuntu 10.10.
Nvidia Gtx 460 and core i7.
I can reproduce the behaviour mentioned by Reason (killing and restarting 
gnome-settings-daemon as root).
Changing to the the nouveau driver didn't fix the problem for me.
Haven't tried the crappy workaround so far.
I have reinstalled Ubuntu at least three times with different configurations 
without success.

Also I have a parallel Ubuntu installation upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10
which does not show the bug. But so far I could not figure out why.

So please increase the importance of this Bug and fix it soon :)

I just installed KDE to see what happens when I boot into it. Everything
works fine in KDE except gnome applications. Firefox and Transmission
are still showing the same rendering issues, while Konqurer and all
native KDE aps show properly rendered fonts and themes. Also I cannot
load certain aps without them crashing. When I run Banshee for example
it just crashes after loading with the KDE theme and fonts. Only the
Gnome apps I had installed on my gnome desktop have issues and they will
only start with the theme and fonts rendered wrong. Installing KDE Full
or switching to Kubuntu seems like one possible option if they decide
not to repair what ever is causing this problem on our systems.

I forgot to say Bug #652731 shows that this happens with XFCE too. So
the problem is related to both Gnome and XFCE, which means it can be
narrowed down to something that is common between those two desktop
environments and the core i7 x58 with newer Nvidia graphics card
combinations.

Albert, I don't think they will *decide* not to repair the bug. It's a
pretty obvious one. It still seems to affect a small number of users,
though, so it might not get the priority we would like. But these sort
of problems often get fixed by the next release.

If you're still doing (re)installs and you would prefer Gnome, I
recommend you go with 10.04. It's an LTS release and works great. I
don't see what you would be missing from 10.10. It brought me nothing
but trouble. I would go back to 10.04 if I had the patience for a clean
install.

[Bug 649809] Re: Meerkat (10.10) does not apply theme properly

2010-10-19 Thread albert fishnets
I have this bug too. I have seen multiple related problems with Core i-7
processors on x-58 MoBos with newer Nvidia cards, posted in other bugs
and forums. Sune Bredahl already mentioned his, but also these forum
post:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9971971

http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1592275

Many people are saying things were fine under 10.04 including myself. I
had some random freezes and weird system slow downs under 10.04, but the
slow install, slow system, theme errors, and stuttering in video are all
new with 10.10. Could there be an underlying issue with the hardware
that is causing all of these problems? My hardware worked fine under
10.04 (mostly) and works fine in windows 7. I think this issue may be
part of a bigger problem. Have any of you seen the other bugs described
in these forum post?

Also, I just tried restarting gnome settings daemon and it gave the same
error, but did not change anything on reboot. I tried running it with
sudo, and my desktop theme changed instantly, so maybe try sudo instead
of rebooting if rebooting doesn't work for you.

[Bug 649809] Re: Meerkat (10.10) does not apply theme properly

2010-10-19 Thread Reason
Same here killing and starting gnome-settings-daemon as root returned the theme 
more or less.
Nautilus still looks bad and the indicator icons still remain as the were.
It does start to hog my CPU though (gnome-settings-daemon) and remains running 
on a 100% load.
Killing the process does keep the theme ok.
I've got some issues with virtual machines as well which are new in 10.10 on my 
core i7.
Seems they tend to lockup randomly with no trace in a log file (Virtualbox).

Side note: I don't have a x58 chipset (I'm using a laptop).

I did notice occasionaly that the interface (compiz effects etc.) were
somewhat slower, which I don't think is normal on this class of
hardware. It improved somewhat after upgrading to the latest nVidia
driver, but it's still not as good as 10.04.

There may well be an underlying cause. Meerkat came with new versions
of X and Gnome. Either could be the source of these problems.

2010-10-17 Thread Sune Bredahl
I have almost the same problem in Xubuntu (Bug #652731) but here it is
xfsettingd not running (which means appearance settings cannot be
changed).

However if I boot from the live cd, everything works and xfsettingsd is
running as it should. I use the nvidia non-free driver also, but the bug
persists if i deactivate it so I'm not sure if it is releated.
