Hi guys, I see this is more than one year old issue and affects very few people, but unfortunately including me. I am Ubuntu user more than one year and one week later after upgrade to 11.04 I decided to switch to Xubuntu. I like Xubuntu, it's lighter and quicker. But, there is a bug, that is really annoying and it's actually this bug.
First time it happend was very next day I installed Xubuntu. I played with settings a lot that day installed various themes and programmes so I thougt I messed something up. It was a fresh install so after few reboots and attempts to fix it I reinstalled Xubuntu and everything was fine. Then I decided not to mess up with themes anymore I chose default theme and configured couple of keyboard shortcuts and thats it. But today, one week later it happend again. And here are symptoms: 1. No border around windows (no maximize, minimize, close buttons) 2. No background image 3. I usually use 9 workspaces it reduced my workspaces to 1 4. I tried terminal, it loaded but I couldn't write anything to it 5. First time I lost mouse pointer ( just did not see it, clicking worked fine ), but today pointer was ok. I found this bug report and tried to run xfwm4 manually and it fixed window borders and terminal. After reboot my background came back, only I had to manually set up number of workspaces. I was thinking, my friend also switched to Xubuntu and has almost the same configuration as me. But it did not happen to him. Maybe it's driver issue, I don't know. My graphic card uses NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 173). (173.14.30) Now I see there is new recommended version of the driver so I switch to it. One strange thing i noticed when this happend to me. Both times I had problem to shut down Xubuntu. I pressed shut down button, but didn't react for more than 30 seconds. So I tried to shut down again and than it started shutting down sequence. Next time I turned on computer windows were messed up. Let me know what kind of information do you need. I'll let know when it happens again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/495361 Title: [Xubuntu] No window manager at startup -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
