Public bug reported: When logging in to Ubuntu the Ambiance and Radiance (and other themes) randomly revert to Gnome default. Just accessing Appearence settings results in partial recovery (in my case the panels - with Nautilus keeping the wrong theme), but when logging in again, the problem starts anew. Also, If - as a reaction to the bug appearing - I select my desired theme (in my case Ambiance) again in the Appearence settings and log out and back in, and the bug appears, the previously selected Ambiance is shown as "custom" theme in Appearence.
There is already a bug filed for this with useful information about the nature of the bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/588155 However, no activity regarding the bug report except "me too"-reports has led me to file the report again. The following Ubuntuforums thread also provides a whole lot of information about the bug, as reports of it appearing are piling up: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1575703 There is speculation that the problem has to do with the gnome-settings- daemon not running on startup and/or with the nvidia-current-modaliases package. All symptoms are described in detail in the original bug report and more importantly, the forum thread. I will attach the screenshot of my desktop during the bug to this report. I want to apologize for filing this bug report again if the problem is indeed being currently looked at. But no activity regarding the first bug report has some of us worried, because this is a pretty severe problem. I already uninstalled Maverick because of it and I'm using Lucid until the issue has been resolved. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: gnome nautilus severe theme -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/693832 Title: Themes randomly reverting to Gnome Default -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
