Omer, How can I verify whether gnome-settings-daemon is crashing? Note that the problem never happens if I try to use a Gnome (shell) session. Don't they use gnome-settings-daemon anymore?
The problem does not happen all the time for me. It only happens in the second seat and after one failure (some time a little more), unity starts working correctly. As I explained above in the first try unity_support_test says that unit is not supported but unity-2d is not correctly started either. After some tries unity_support_test starts saying that unity is supported and it starts correctly. Another way to avoid the problem is to first use a Gnome session, logging out and then using unity after that. The Gnome sessions seems to be doing some kind of initialization that unity is lacking. Finally, I was trying come out with a workaround that would allow me to use unity-2d only when necessary (a simple one would be to use unity-2d aways) and I may have found a way to reproduce the behavior in a single seat environment. Just drop the attached 51force_unity_2D file in the /etc/X11/Xsession.d and start the regular unity session. What this file does is set up DESKTOP_SESSION and GDMSESSION environment variables to "ubuntu-2d", trying to force unity-2d to be used. This approach was inspired by reading /etc/X11/Xsession.d/50_check_unity_support. In my machine neither unity nor unity-2d are correctly started. I only get nautilus running. This is exactly the behavior I am experiencing in the second seat in the first runs. ** Attachment added: "File that tries to force unity-2d and ends up reproducing the bug" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/883225/+attachment/2626798/+files/51force_unity_2D -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/883225 Title: Unity looks strange when used in multiseat setup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/883225/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
