Here's one method to reproduce it and get a shell at exactly the point where the gray background is drawn:
sudo echo '#!/bin/sh xterm exec /usr/bin/gnome-panel "$@"' > /usr/local/bin/gnome-panel sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/gnome-panel Once that wrapper is created, try to login. You'll get an xterm at a gray background. If you exit the xterm, the login process continues and the gray background is replaced with the user's wallpaper. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1563735 Title: Recent gnome-flashback clears the background on login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-flashback/+bug/1563735/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
