** Description changed: - the unity plugin was disabled automatically during a software upgrade. + The unity plugin was disabled automatically during a software upgrade. + After rebooting and logging in, there was no unity - just a nautilus + menu bar at the top of the screen. Compiz seemed to be working normally; + the workspace switcher hotkeys (ctrl-alt-arrow) worked fine, for + example. + + Investigation showed that the Unity plugin in the compiz settings + manager was disabled. When I tried to renable the plugin, compiz wanted + to have a conversation with me about conflicting settings. I don't have + the specific details of those questions, sorry. It was something to the + effect of "enable even though there are conflicts", then a set of + dialogs asking what do do for each specific conflict. + + A similar problem was reported here, and the Ubuntu forums also report problems like this: + http://askubuntu.com/questions/63921/unity-3d-doesnt-work-anymore-just-shows-a-menu-on-the-top + + To reproduce: + Install 11.10, then upgrade to whatever is in oneiric-proposed. I am sure that we did not disable the unity plugin manually. + ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: unity 4.24.0-0ubuntu2b1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-12.20-generic-pae 3.0.4 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-12-generic-pae i686 .tmp.unity.support.test.0: - + ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu3 Architecture: i386 CompizPlugins: [core,bailer,detection,composite,opengl,decor,move,imgpng,regex,resize,place,session,vpswitch,compiztoolbox,gnomecompat,animation,mousepoll,snap,grid,expo,wall,workarounds,ezoom,staticswitcher,fade,scale,unityshell] CompositorRunning: compiz Date: Tue Nov 1 15:47:26 2011 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: oneiric DistroVariant: ubuntu GraphicsCard: - Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0116] (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) - Subsystem: Lenovo Device [17aa:21e4] + Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0116] (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) + Subsystem: Lenovo Device [17aa:21e4] InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release i386 (20111012) MachineType: LENOVO 5038CTO ProcEnviron: - PATH=(custom, no user) - LANG=en_US.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + PATH=(custom, no user) + LANG=en_US.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-12-generic-pae root=UUID=b17a730e-4f58-456d-b302-4bc3d7b887ee ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 SourcePackage: unity UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 09/13/2011 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: 8JET38WW (1.20 ) dmi.board.asset.tag: Not Available dmi.board.name: 5038CTO dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: Not Available dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Information dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: Not Available dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvr8JET38WW(1.20):bd09/13/2011:svnLENOVO:pn5038CTO:pvrThinkPadEdgeE220s:rvnLENOVO:rn5038CTO:rvrNotAvailable:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNotAvailable: dmi.product.name: 5038CTO dmi.product.version: ThinkPad Edge E220s dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO version.compiz: compiz 1:0.9.6+bzr20110929-0ubuntu5 version.libdrm2: libdrm2 2.4.26-1ubuntu1 version.libgl1-mesa-dri: libgl1-mesa-dri 7.11-0ubuntu3 version.libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental: libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental N/A version.libgl1-mesa-glx: libgl1-mesa-glx 7.11-0ubuntu3 version.xserver-xorg: xserver-xorg 1:7.6+7ubuntu7 version.xserver-xorg-input-evdev: xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.6.0-1ubuntu13 version.xserver-xorg-video-ati: xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.14.99~git20110811.g93fc084-0ubuntu1 version.xserver-xorg-video-intel: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.15.901-1ubuntu2 version.xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:0.0.16+git20110411+8378443-1
