Public bug reported: Binary package hint: metacity
When upgrading to metacity-1.2.30.1-0ubuntu1, the new package installs without error but metacity does not run when you start X because it cannot find workspace names using gconf. To trigger this bug, create more than 16 workspaces before upgrading. The problem is that the metacity schema in /usr/share/gconf/schemas/metacity.schemas only has slots for 16 workspace names, but metacity lets you have up to 36 workspaces. The workaround is to manually edit the metacity.schemas file and add slots 17 - 36 under the key for /schemas/apps/metacity/workspace_names/name then run "gconf-schemas --register-all". ** Affects: metacity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- metacity assert failure: metacity:ERROR:core/prefs.c:2482:meta_prefs_get_workspace_name: assertion failed: (workspace_names[i] != NULL) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/583847 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
