[Bug 106350] Re: Metacity crash corrupts future Gnome sessions
I was still hitting this even though I had the updated package with the fix in it installed. However, after I deleted ~/.gnome2/session the problem seems to be fixed. I have two questions: 1) have others experienced the same problem; i.e. experiencing this bug even with the updated package with a corrupt session file and 2) if this happens, is there anything we can do to fix it; e.g. delete the session file automatically somehow. -- Metacity crash corrupts future Gnome sessions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/106350 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

** Description changed: - Binary package hint: metacity + To trigger the bug easily: + - open the session capplet, activate automatic session saving on logout + - open an emacs windows (or anything else not handling session saving correctly) + - close your GNOME session + - open a new one - I'm not sure what's the cause of this, but I have this problem on two different HP Companc nc6320 laptops. - After loging in, all saved Windows from my previous session are restored, but on top of each other and without Window manager elements (no title bar, close button, resize possibility...). The only way to get a working Gnome again, is by removing the .gnome2 folder. The problem only appeared in Feisty around 10 april on my first machine and today on the second, so I guess it's a new Feisty bug. On this machine, I've found a metacity crash report, with a timestamp from the moment I shut down the machine yesterday. I have the save session option on, so it might be possible that part of the crashed state is saved in my session or something like that. + There is no window manager started ** Changed in: metacity (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium = High ** Changed in: metacity (Ubuntu Feisty) Importance: Undecided = High Assignee: (unassigned) = Ubuntu Desktop Bugs Status: Unconfirmed = Confirmed -- Metacity crash corrupts future Gnome sessions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/106350 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 106350] Re: Metacity crash corrupts future Gnome sessions
I reproduced the bug this evening. I logged in, moved the .gnome2/session file away, turned off session-saving, logged out and logged back in. Everything was back to normal then. When examining the session-file, there was no line for metacity (while there is one when everything is normal). So I think this is what happens, which prevents metacity from starting: * user presses logout * metacity crashes and stays down * gnome saves the state of the session, so without metacity running * shutdown boot * user logs in * gnome reads session file without metacity-line = result = no metacity started. This bug (metacity not starting at login) should thus not happen when you don't save the state of the sessions. Remaining question is why metacity crashes :) In attachement is the .gnome2/session-file from right after the crash. ** Attachment added: .gnome2/session file after the crash http://librarian.launchpad.net/7394214/session -- Metacity crash corrupts future Gnome sessions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/106350 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 106350] Re: Metacity crash corrupts future Gnome sessions
I can confirm this bug on a 32-bit system. I'm seeing this problem since my upgrade to feisty last Thursday (so most likely, this bug is feisty only). However, metacity doesn't always crash at shutdown. I've found a crash report from Friday (at 2.42 am), but the last time I've shut my laptop down was Friday around 22.30 pm, which implies that metacity didn't crash at 22.30pm. My work around: try to click the terminal icon before it gets covered, and then execute gnome-wm from the terminal. This brings metacity back on - without the need to remove the .gnome2/session file. I attached the crash report from Friday. If it can help, I will try to get my corrupted session file for metacity next time the crash happens (but I would need some directions on where to get it). ** Attachment added: crash report from metacity on 32-bit http://librarian.launchpad.net/7378927/_usr_bin_metacity.1000.crash -- Metacity crash corrupts future Gnome sessions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/106350 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Today my system crashed again and I made a screenshot to illustrate the problem (attached). I also have a new metacity crash report dated at the moment of my previou shutdown. I'll upload it if it's usefull to analyse a third one. I can confirm now that everything works fine again after removing just $HOME/.gnome2/session (so you don't need to remove the complete .gnome2 directory). ** Attachment added: crashed.png http://librarian.launchpad.net/7350504/crashed.png -- Metacity crash corrupts future Gnome sessions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/106350 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
