Thank you for your bug report. Can you please try running "gnome-shell --replace" in a terminal and looking what error it gives you?
By the way, you don't need to reboot, go into a tty using Ctlr+Alt+F1 like you did, and there you can try starting Metacity (or Compiz, if you use that) again with "DISPLAY=:0.0 metacity --replace" and switching back to your desktop (with Ctrl+Alt+F7, or maybe F8 or F9). ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- gnome-shell crash all https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/511124 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
