--- Comment #181 from Uwe Dippel <udip...@gmail.com> --- "on almost every restart" Look further up. I think we have to make with two items. One is the placement of icons on the desktop in case of real estate changes. You'll find everything under #360478. Aside of changes of icons (like desktop background), we probably see effects of another bug that isn't triggered by changes of desktop real estate, but rather as random occurence only at boot. Which points into the direction of systemd. I myself have observed some occasional messed-up behaviour (see above), including just not being able to process password input at login; exclusively after a boot. Meaning, the built-in keyboard isn't read properly and multiple efforts will never allow me to enter my password properly. After a reboot, everything works fine. Make this a once out of 10 cold boots. (And, no, yes, the keyboard(s) will work 100 percent during hours of typing session - keyboards: this behaviour is - if this happens - identical on the built-in keyboard and the external keyboard; so it is DEFINITELY not a keyboard problem!) I' d really wish we could split and clearly distinguish the underlying situation despite of - at first glance - similar outcome: 1. Messed up icons (and desktop, and other stuff) solely at *boot -> pointing to systemd-dependencies (this bug) 2. Messed up icons solely at change of real estate (seemingly random positioning of icons whose locations don't exist after a downsizing of the canvas (#360478) ) What unifies these two bugs is only their ages of >6 years, and their major blocking of kubuntu to be 'useable by the average person out there'. Having been sysadmin for 20+-years, I wouldn't want to having anything to do officially with such a system once a user filed a ticket for either. Some 20 years ago, such bugs were good material for jokes about Redmond. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
