It's not a critical issue, by all means work on other things first. Please leave it open, and it might be addressable by a bug fix later, or closed if it becomes moot with gsettings.
The case is when a user's session is broken and they *cannot* login successfully to unity or gnome, so they are logging in on a vt or via ssh, and trying to repair whatever damage there is to their dotfiles. The problem is not that it tries to relaunch unity (per se), the problem is that it won't reset the configuration if it can't also launch it. The user *is* logged in, but only via ssh or vt. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/972721 Title: unity --reset doesn't work if you're not logged in to any unity session To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/972721/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
