I've built Metacity 3.42 for Ubuntu 21.10 with Xpresent support, which is behind a gsettings option that defaults to xrender. When Metacity is set as the required window manager in MATE with Xpresent set as the compositor the same failure to bring up a desktop session is encountered.
I have also built Marco without Xpresent and as expected it fallsback to Xrender which works with the new NVIDIA drivers and also preserves compositor support. ** Summary changed: - Nvidia 510 drivers result in failure to start GUI on GeForce GTX 1050 Ti + MATE Desktop session fails to start with NVIDIA 495 & 510 drivers ** Also affects: metacity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: metacity (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: marco (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-510 (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: metacity (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: marco (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: High Assignee: Martin Wimpress (flexiondotorg) Status: Triaged ** Also affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-510 (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Also affects: metacity (Ubuntu Impish) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: marco (Ubuntu Impish) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers-510 (Ubuntu Impish) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** No longer affects: metacity (Ubuntu Focal) ** No longer affects: metacity (Ubuntu Impish) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1960621 Title: MATE Desktop session fails to start with NVIDIA 495 & 510 drivers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/marco/+bug/1960621/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
