As comment #19, my issue was apparently with Chrome Remote Desktop.
After uninstalling it, everything seems to be back and working.
* I had no hardware changes prior to my problems
* I'm running on AMD® A10-7800 radeon r7, integrated graphics
* After installing Chrome Remote Desktop, I noticed
Just installed 10.10 on my new computer with an OCZ Vertex 2 60GB SSD,
and I've got the same message. I get this message regardless of SMART is
enabled in BIOS or not.

Well, the as far as bug reporting goes it's obviously important to find
out the cause of the problem. But if that's not possible (or not
achieved in a reasonable time frame) then you would obviously want the
problem fixed even without knowing exactly what caused it. And that's
the reason for
I really don't know how to move on from here. I don't think that you
need to start both compiz and metacity, it's one or the other. Starting
either one with --replace terminates the other if it's running, at least
that's my understanding.
The error in syslog regarding gnome-session might be
I find it strange that you don't have titlebars even when metacity is
set as the window manager. It's probably not a faulty driver then, but
rather some other settings as you say. However, you can see in Hardware
drivers under System - Administration if the latest nvidia driver is
installed. It
The message seems fine, but why the value of windowmanager isn't
changing I don't know. Maybe you could try to manually set it to
metacity with Gconf editor, reboot and see if that works, check to see
if Visual effects says None and from there try again to change to
normal or extra and reboot and
After changing the Desktop Effects, or logging in without title bars, could you
check the setting of /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager
with gconf-editor and verify that it shows the same as Desktop Effects:
* It should say metacity if Desktop Effects are set to None

Comments #10 and #11 does fix the problem, ie it reverts back to
metacity. However, if I try to activate Visual effects through
Appearance, it hangs on Keep settings and upon log in the problem is
back. Launching gnome-appearance-properties from a terminal gives the
following output when changing

install compiz and compiz-gnome package (which is a dependency to compiz
so just mark that one for installation).
The bug report should probably be changed to another package, right? I'm
assuming that the fault lies in either

Is the file re-created as it was before? Could it possible be because of

That's normal behavior. I get the same messages sort of. What's
interesting is what gets output when you change the Visual effects
settings, as described in the other bug report. If you get none, then
it's ok I suppose.
I'm guessing this is a duplicate of the other bug, but until the

Seems likely. Bug #554106 is probably the reason why you can't change
back to metacity in Visual effects, and possibly why some (like me)

packages and that the

No problem. This is certainly a duplicate of bug #559111 but I'm
reluctant to mark it as such since it will hide it from the search
results. Since this seems to be a fairly new issue users are bound to
search for it, and titlebars seems like a likely keyword for that :)

Are you sure that it's the same bug? I'm in the same position as you, I'm

As a swede using English as the language of choice for programs, I wish I could
