I'm no expert but i had some of the same .xsession-errors entries as in post #24 including:
WARN 2011-10-19 09:17:27 unity.iconloader IconLoader.cpp:509 Unable to load contents of file:///usr/share/icons/unity-icon-theme/places/svg/category-installed.svg: Error opening file: No such file or directory WARN 2011-10-19 09:17:27 unity.iconloader IconLoader.cpp:509 Unable to load contents of file:///usr/share/icons/unity-icon-theme/places/svg/category-available.svg: Error opening file: No such file or directory When i did in a terminal: ls /usr/share/icons/unity-icon-theme/places/svg/ it showed that there where "group-installed" and "group-available" instead of "category-installed" and "category-available". So i made an assumption that there had been a change in the code between 11.04 and 11,10 in the naming these and simply created simlinks ie: sudo ln -s /usr/share/icons/unity-icon-theme/places/svg/group-installed.svg /usr/share/icons/unity-icon-theme/places/svg/category-installed.svg sudo ln -s /usr/share/icons/unity-icon-theme/places/svg/group-available.svg /usr/share/icons/unity-icon-theme/places/svg/category-available.svg When i did that many more .desktop items appeared in my /usr/share/applications file that need to be in place before that application icon will appear in the unity launch bar. PLEASE NOTE: I DO NOT KNOW IF I HAVE CREATED ANY OTHER PROBLEMS DOING THIS but my upgrade of unity seemed to work better after this. I also have the dbus errors in .xsession-errors log in post #24 but i think that may be related to ubuntu one polkits or something like that - haven't figured that out yet. As far as the high cpu load - i couldn't stop my upgrade from freezing until i stopped the nautilus file manager from controlling the desktop. That means you can't use nautilus to place icons on the desktop but unity has its own method of doing that. Its difficult to speculate what the specific problems are without looking at the .xsession-error log entries which is very handy for graphical issues. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/773564 Title: compiz occasionally hangs with 100% cpu usage (inotify plugin infinite loop) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/773564/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
