Public bug reported: Binary package hint: unity
I have found this with CompizConfig-Settings-Manager but it could also be a problem with other applications. Steps to reproduce issue: 1) Install CompizConfig-Settings-Manager (CCSM) 2) Use applications from panel to run it. 3) Right click on icon in panel and select "Keep in launcher" 4) Close CCSM 5) Try to run it from the persistent icon and it pulses for a while but does nothing. Will try some more apps to see if it is a bigger issue ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: unity 3.6.0-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-5.32-generic 2.6.38-rc6 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-5-generic x86_64 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: [core,bailer,detection,composite,opengl,decor,mousepoll,vpswitch,regex,animation,snap,expo,move,compiztoolbox,place,grid,imgpng,gnomecompat,wall,ezoom,workarounds,staticswitcher,resize,fade,unitymtgrabhandles,scale,session,unityshell] CompositorRunning: compiz DRM.card0.HDMI.A.1: status: disconnected enabled: disabled dpms: Off modes: edid-base64: DRM.card0.LVDS.1: status: connected enabled: enabled dpms: On modes: 1920x1200 1920x1200 1920x1080 1600x1200 1680x1050 1400x1050 1280x1024 1280x960 1152x864 1024x768 800x600 640x480 720x400 640x400 640x350 edid-base64: DRM.card0.VGA.1: status: disconnected enabled: disabled dpms: Off modes: edid-base64: Date: Wed Mar 2 08:26:20 2011 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: natty DistroVariant: ubuntu GraphicsCard: nVidia Corporation G84 [GeForce 8600M GT] [10de:0407] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems Device [1179:0001] LiveMediaBuild: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Alpha amd64 (20110228.1) LiveMediaBuild_: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Alpha amd64 (20110228.1) LiveMediaBuild__: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Alpha amd64 (20110228.1) MachineType: TOSHIBA Qosmio G40 PccardctlIdent: Socket 0: no product info available PccardctlStatus: Socket 0: no card ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_US:en LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcKernelCmdLine: noprompt cdrom-detect/try-usb=true persistent file=/cdrom/preseed/hostname.seed boot=casper initrd=/casper/initrd.lz quiet splash -- maybe-ubiquity ProcVersionSignature_: Ubuntu 2.6.38-5.32-generic 2.6.38-rc6 ProcVersionSignature__: Ubuntu 2.6.38-5.32-generic 2.6.38-rc6 Renderer: Unknown SourcePackage: unity UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 02/29/2008 dmi.bios.vendor: TOSHIBA dmi.bios.version: Version 2.20 dmi.board.name: Portable PC dmi.board.vendor: TOSHIBA dmi.board.version: Version A0 dmi.chassis.asset.tag: 00000000 dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.version: A dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnTOSHIBA:bvrVersion2.20:bd02/29/2008:svnTOSHIBA:pnQosmioG40:pvrPQG40A-00Y014:rvnTOSHIBA:rnPortablePC:rvrVersionA0:cvnTSI:ct10:cvrA: dmi.product.name: Qosmio G40 dmi.product.version: PQG40A-00Y014 dmi.sys.vendor: TOSHIBA version.compiz: compiz 1:0.9.4-0ubuntu3 version.libdrm2: libdrm2 2.4.23-1ubuntu3 version.libgl1-mesa-glx: libgl1-mesa-glx 7.10.1~git20110215.cc1636b6-0ubuntu2 version.xserver-xorg: xserver-xorg 1:7.6~3ubuntu9 version.xserver-xorg-video-ati: xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.14.0-0ubuntu2 version.xserver-xorg-video-intel: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.14.0-1ubuntu11 version.xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:0.0.16+git20110107+b795ca6e-0ubuntu5 ** Affects: unity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug compiz-0.9 natty running-unity ubuntu -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/727658 Title: Compiz settings and possibly other applications do not run when launched from unity side panel -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
