It was 100% reproducible with my Jaunty partition until I reinstalled Ubuntu (ie because I was unable to boot); now of course I can't reproduce it with the new installation.
The original cause of the corrupted files was that I tried to resize the Jaunty partition (from Intrepid running the 2.6.28-8-generic kernel and gparted 0.4.3), and it ran into problems, corrupting a significant number of files in the Jaunty partition. I recovered most of them from a virtual machine and by reinstalling, but clearly there was something important to Gnome that was still damaged. This is a wishlist item rather than a specific bug - it would be great if there's a next time (and I'm sure there will be for someone!) to be able to easily figure out what's broken and fix it without having to reinstall completely. -- wishlist: debug session mode when starting Gnome https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/336131 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
