[Bug 649809] Re: Meerkat (10.10) does not apply theme properly
Paul, I also had this problem about large CPU spikes. It's a known nvidia bug with the nvidia drivers found with the Additional Drivers application in Ubuntu. It can be fixed up by downloading the latest nvidia driver from nvidia's website and installing that. :) -- Meerkat (10.10) does not apply theme properly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/649809 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 649809] Re: Meerkat (10.10) does not apply theme properly
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. -- Meerkat (10.10) does not apply theme properly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/649809 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Interesting, I'm not able to presently try that fix (#54), but it does sound like there may be some hope. I should add that I've also got a Core i7, X58 chipset, nVidia GeForce GTX 275, and an SSD boot drive. -- Meerkat (10.10) does not apply theme properly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/649809 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 649809] Re: Meerkat (10.10) does not apply theme properly
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. -- Meerkat (10.10) does not apply theme properly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/649809 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 649809] Re: Meerkat (10.10) does not apply theme properly
Yes, the problem is persistent. What chipsets does everyone here have? Mine is an Intel X58 chipset (which can be found amongst other ways by doing a lspci) I think I'll make up a temporary work-around script to fix this issue. It'll most likely be a dodgy hack. I'll post it here if and when I make the script up. I'm quite sure something is causing gnome-settings-daemon to not start up correctly.

[Bug 649809] Re: Meerkat (10.10) does not apply theme properly
Same problem here. Clean install of Ubuntu 10.10 amd64 (The full release version, with all updates applied as of 12 October 2010. Installed nvidia drivers, after a reboot the ubuntu theme has gone and is replaced by the default gnome theme (which is quite ugly). It is possible to get it working if you run this: - killall gnome-settings-daemon gnome-settings-daemon - Then log out, and log back in again. Then the theme works nicely, until you reboot / log out again. Note that sometimes I've noticed several gnome-settings-daemon processes running at 100% CPU usage - these can be killed with no effect to your present theme for the current session. Also note that when I run gnome-settings-daemon (after running killall gnome-settings-daemon) this is returned to the console: - rhub...@rhubarb-sx58:~$ gnome-settings-daemon ** (gnome-settings-daemon:4716): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.SettingsDaemon ** (gnome-settings-daemon:4716): WARNING **: Could not acquire name - Which makes me think it's a problem to do with the gnome-settings-daemon ;) -- Meerkat (10.10) does not apply theme properly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/649809 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 649809] Re: Meerkat (10.10) does not apply theme properly
We may be on to something here. My system that's having this problem: Core i7 975, nVidia GeForce GTX 275, 6GB DDR3 RAM, Intel X58 chipset I have no theme issues when I revert back to the nouveau video drivers. But when the nVidia 260.19.06 drivers are installed suddenly I have theme problems.

[Bug 403408] Re: Grub 2 problem, error: no such device
I encountered the same problem on a Dell laptop (I can't remember what model, I
guess from around 2005).
I edited /usr/lib/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib and commented out 3 lines as follows:
Before:
if fs_uuid=`${grub_probe} --device ${device} --target=fs_uuid 2 /dev/null`
; then
echo search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set ${fs_uuid}
fi
After:
# if fs_uuid=`${grub_probe} --device ${device} --target=fs_uuid 2
/dev/null` ; then
# echo search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set ${fs_uuid}
# fi
Saved the file, then upon reboot it worked, but after that reboot it didn't
work.
So, I made the change to /usr/lib/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib again,
Changed the permissions of the file to read only (chmod 444)
Then ran dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc (or sudo update-grub might do the trick too).
I can't be sure exactly why the error re-occured after my first attempt,
but there's a chance changing the permissions on the file did the trick.
I actually found it quite fun learning more about grub2 :)

[Bug 272334] Re: Setting AutoAddDevices to false in xorg.conf is required in order to disable Emulate3Buttons
I've figured out the proper way to permanently fix this issue using the documentation from here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config Create a file named mouse.fdi in your /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ directory: gksu gedit /etc/hal/fdi/policy/mouse.fdi Then paste the following in there: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=ISO-8859-1? deviceinfo version=0.2 device match key=info.capabilities contains=input.mouse merge key=input.x11_options.Emulate3Buttons type=stringfalse/merge /match /device /deviceinfo Now you need to unplug your mouse, then plug it back in again / restart your computer (restarting X I think may also work). Using xinput -list, finding the number of your mouse (usually a number between 0 and 9, represented as number), then running: xinput set-int-prop number Middle Button Timeout 8 0 Also works, but will not remain if you unplug then replug in your mouse / restart your computer. So I recommend you use the mouse.fdi file above. -- Setting AutoAddDevices to false in xorg.conf is required in order to disable Emulate3Buttons https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272334 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
