Marco: it might be a duplicate, but I can't be sure. In my case, and in the
case of most users who have initiated this thread, the bug *is* 100%
reproducible and can never be fixed with a re-login or reboot. So the
description for bug #574296 is an inaccurate description of my problem.

No autologin here. Yes, happens at every login.

I tried creating a new user, in case there was something wrong with my
user-specific settings, but no -- the problem affects the new user as well.

2010-11-04 Thread George

 - is everybody there having the issue using a nvidia card with nvidia
 binary drivers installed?


Speaking only for myself, yes.


 - do you get the issue using nouveau?


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.


 can you change the theme in the gnome-appearance-properties dialog? is
 starting it enough to get your theme used?


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
website produces the exact same problem.

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.

Reinstalling gnome-settings-daemon didn't fix it for me. Neither did
the sleep trick.

I also have an SSD as the boot drive.

So it's specific to the Nvidia driver and Gnome or XFCE then. KDE is still
working fine without any problems.

 I just wanted to add that I can now reproduce this problem on an athlon

 So basically every machine I have updated or clean installed 10.10 on
 has had this issue.

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.
