[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1250875] Re: Lightdm sometimes fails to auto login
I have just noticed this: I created a second account (administrative) and gave it a distinct desktop background. Both accounts were set autologin=NO. On rebooting from a complete power off (at the wall), I of course got the login screen, BUT if I dropped down to the second account, its distinctive desktop background was displayed, whereas on returning up to my usual sole account, the background went to the standard purple, instead of my account's distinctive desktop background. I guess there is some sort of corruption in my account's files. I expect that complete removal of my account, followed by its exact re- creation might remove this problem. I am tempted to try, after the appropriate backups of course. By the way, am I talking to myself here, or is anybody who might be able to solve this also listening? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1250875 Title: Lightdm sometimes fails to auto login Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Using ubuntu 14.04 and sometimes when I boot into ubuntu lightdm fails to auto login, and I must login manually in the unity greeter.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1250875] Re: Lightdm sometimes fails to auto login
More: creating a new 'test' account on the i5 machine and changing auto login to that account results in auto login working OK for 'test'. That seems to suggest that a fault has somehow arisen in my usual account's control files. I'm hoping someone will discover such a fault and how to correct it by a tiny action. I am reluctant to go through the process of trying to ensure I have saved all my normal account's files and settings, then deleting and recreating that account! I try only to do that when I totally reload a machine and then only with a new LTS, which will not be until 16.04.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1250875] Re: Lightdm sometimes fails to auto login
Ubuntu 14.04 has just recently started doing this to me too about a week ago, today being 2015-04-22. I keep Ubuntu upgraded on this 64bit PC (Intel i5) to the latest state nearly all the time. I wonder if this helps: When I turn on the power (with the BIOS is set to start the PC when power resumes) I often see my desktop for an instant before the system flips to the login screen. If however I reboot the machine without downing the power, the auto logon works OK. Happy to do any diagnostics as directed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1250875 Title: Lightdm sometimes fails to auto login Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Using ubuntu 14.04 and sometimes when I boot into ubuntu lightdm fails to auto login, and I must login manually in the unity greeter.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 792085] Re: Automatic remount of safely removed drive
I have this problem on 12.04 with a new Seagate 3TB usb3 external drive ON A USB3 interface. Will test later on 14.04; waiting for final release at present. For me, safe removal never works (drive always returns) unlike others above, who find it does work second time. I reduced the problem a little by: System Settings/Details/Removable Media/Never prompt or start programs on media insertion (TICK) and dconf-editor: org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount (UNtick) automount-oepn (UNtick) automount-never (TICK) Of course, then I have to open disk utility and mount drives by hand and open the mount point by hand. No big deal. Interestingly, the problem does not occur if the drive is connected via a USB2 interface, but that rather spoils the point of having a USB3-capable drive! In fact, it dropped the read time to about 1/5th but made almost no difference to the write time, so if your use of the drive is primarily to archive files, it seems: connect via USB2 interface is quite a good idea for now! I suspect that the issue is related to the USB3 interface, both in the drive and the PC. A Seagate ST2000DM001 (2Tb USB interface) external drive CONNECTED ON A USB3 INTERFACE DOES behave correctly on SAFE REMOVAL and does NOT reappear in the list in disk utility. (probably off topic) It is interesting to note that on my drive (Seagate STNV3000300) the interface at the disk enclosure is a PAIR of connectors side by side, not a simple mini or micro USB peripheral interface.

If this is now closed, please re-open. I have just experienced this bug (see attached) on a Dell 9150 running 64bit Ubuntu 12.04 as updated on 2012-05-16. I was copying from an external 2Tb USB drive via USB2.0 to an internal 300Gb IDE drive. I had earlier done a multiple drag and drop copy, and the fileops window showed just what it should - multiple copies in progress. When that had finished, I did another DD copy and the fileops window was blank as attached. Later still, I did another (two files selected) copy and that time got NO fileops window at all. All file copies seemed OK though. I have not yet rebooted, but expect I will see what earlier reporters saw, that is, that the error clears at least temporarily after a reboot. ** Attachment added: BlankFileOps.png https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/515435/+attachment/3149757/+files/BlankFileOps.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/515435 Title: File-operations window is emtpy Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Today when I inserted my 4GB USB stick, and began to transfer some files to it, the File Operations window was complete empty.
