Public bug reported: Lubuntu 12.04 PPC all current patches applied as of 11:00 AM (CST) March 8, 2012
Login screen is black (background is blue with wave pattern, as expected) White text, black background, buttons not visible. Login with user name and password Open Monitor Settings and Preferred Applications Leave those two dialogs open and logout. Login now appears as it should, visible buttons, grey background. Stays this way until a shutdown, reboot, or the application of updates via terminal or Update Manager. (That is I can logout and login in all day and the login will be normal, as long as I don't reboot or apply updates.) What service or code is activated with the Open Monitor and Preferred Applications windows that would provide a temporary fix for the black login screen. (Character Map and Network Connections windows are also black, but this doesn't fix those.) ** Affects: libfm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/950121 Title: Black login dialog, but fixed by opening certain windows To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libfm/+bug/950121/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
