*PROBLEM SOLVED: Missing dependency* I just did some debugging:
/usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/ubuntu-2d.session uses metacity, while /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/ubuntu.session uses compiz However, compiz is running and does not crash. But then it complains that this file cannot be found: /usr/lib/compizconfig/backends/libgconf.so which is in package compizconfig-backend-gconf , which was not installed. Installing that package fixes the problem. (which btw. explains why the desktop CD runs, but not when installing from alternate) So some other package (desktop, compiz,...) lacks that particular dependency. regards -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/839671 Title: unity works in 2D-mode only To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/839671/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
