Hi, I am also affected of this bug. (Inb4 yes I reed the howto submit a bug.)
AMD/ATI [Radeon HD 7660D] - User I used the gnome-shell magnifier in 13.10 frequently. But after the update to trusty I tried to use it and it crashed my X beyond any usability. After the restart the magnifier was still enabled, with the as described above behaviour: one click on anything = crash. I was able to submit another bug with the bug-reporter App including the required debug infos (but I can't find it here. I will keep searching for my report.) The bug-reporter App then was not useable because of the activated magnifier. -> Please mark this as duplicate. My cheap fix (for anyone with the same problem): Delete or backup your .gconfd (and/or?) .config/dconf/user Ctrl+Alt+F2 then login mkdir -p ~/.backup-gnome-config/ && for f in .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity .config/dconf/user; do mv $f ~/.backup-gnome-config/; done Restart: sudo shutdown -r now At first I tried switching to gnome-classic and removing fglrx. But this didn't help. My conclusion for ATI(?) users: stay away from the magnifier. Move nearer to the screen till this is fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1311236 Title: Magnifier in Ubuntu GNOME Trusty crashes completely To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1311236/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
