I was playing with the gdm accessibility settings, and selected screen magnifier.
The screen was similar to the already attached screenshot. The RHS of the screen either showed just the background image, or black where the screen content should be. Only half the login chooser was visible. The accessibility menu was hidden by the magnifier, and not visible in the magnifier. Further, when I tried to log in to any user, the login would start, and then immediately quit and return to the login screen. After various experiments (including installing xdm), I found I could disable the magnifier by removing /var/lib/gdm/.gconf/desktop/gnome/applications/at/%gconf.xml (from memory) Installing xdm caused several packages to be removed (e.g. at-spi), now there is nothing in the gdm accessibility menu. -- Visual artifacts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/416279 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
