Public bug reported: I just upgraded to 11.10 from 11.04.
I opened the compiz config app and clicked "preferences". Before I could do anything, my shell crashed. Now when I try to log in using the Ubuntu shell, it doesn't fully load. I get my desktop icons and a file menu at the top of the screen, which appears to be for nautilus. But that's it. I can log in with Ubuntu 2D without issue. It appears that some configuration file may have been corrupted. When I load the compiz config program from the Ubuntu 2D shell, click on "preferences", and click the "Profile" drop-down-list, I see two entries: "Default", and garbage characters. When I remove the profile with the garbage name, another one comes to take its place. Originally reported on the Ubuntu forums; a few other people are having this issue, but I didn't get a working fix there. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11345654 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: compiz 1:0.9.6+bzr20110929-0ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-12.20-generic 3.0.4 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-12-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia .proc.driver.nvidia.gpus.0: Error: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0' .proc.driver.nvidia.registry: Binary: "" .proc.driver.nvidia.version: NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 280.13 Wed Jul 27 16:53:56 PDT 2011 GCC version: gcc version 4.6.1 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.1-9ubuntu3) .tmp.unity.support.test.0: ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: [core,bailer,detection,composite,opengl,compiztoolbox,decor,place,vpswitch,resize,grid,regex,animation,imgpng,gnomecompat,move,session,snap,mousepoll,workarounds,expo,wall,ezoom,staticswitcher,fade,scale] CompositorRunning: None Date: Sat Oct 15 20:42:50 2011 DistUpgraded: Log time: 2011-10-14 00:43:45.423752 DistroCodename: oneiric DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: nvidia-current, 280.13, 2.6.38-8-generic, x86_64: installed nvidia-current, 280.13, 3.0.0-12-generic, x86_64: installed GraphicsCard: nVidia Corporation GF108 [Quadro 600] [10de:0df8] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: nVidia Corporation Device [10de:0835] InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release amd64 (20110427.1) JockeyStatus: xorg:nvidia_current - NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (Proprietary, Enabled, In use) xorg:nvidia_current_updates - NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (post-release updates) (Proprietary, Disabled, Not in use) MachineType: Dell Inc.
