Running Precise now, I have seen this bug 3 times in the last week following a shutdown failure, so as requested I have opened a new bug #978333
In one of the forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1930928 someone reported being told that "this problem is not with xubuntu really, but with xubuntu-desktop installed over a normal ubuntu install (oneiric)." This is the case for my desktop, in fact I installed straight xfce and not xubuntu-desktop. Does anyone know what this mysterious problem with a normal install is? There are similar reports of this issue on the xfce forums at http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?pid=25792#p25792 -- 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/metacity/+bug/495361/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
