[Bug 876608] Re: unity shell doesn't fully load

 

Joe Areeda, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is missing. Please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer. First, execute at a terminal:
cd /var/crash && sudo rm * ; sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && sudo service apport start force_start=1

If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable
apport in /etc/default/apport and restart.

Now reproduce the crash, then open your file manager, navigate to your /var/crash directory and open the crash report you wish to submit.
If this fails you will have to open a terminal and file your report with 'ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash' where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report. If you get an error that you aren't allowed to access this report you will have to file it with 'sudo ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash'. If you run the command against the crash report and a window pops up asking you to report this, but then never opens a new report, you would be affected by https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/994921 . In order to WORKAROUND this, one would need to open the following file via a command line:
gksudo gedit /etc/apport/crashdb.conf

and comment out the line:
'problem_types': ['Bug', 'Package'],

by changing it to:
# 'problem_types': ['Bug', 'Package'],

Save, close, and try to file the crash report again via:
ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash

Please follow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingCompiz when you file this
crash report so the necessary information is provided.

I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will
automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more
efficiently.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  unity shell doesn't fully load

Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I'm not sure if this is a Unity or a compiz bug.  It is similar to the
  reported problem in
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/875400 and
  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11345654 and
  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1861738&highlight=compiz

  After what seems like any change in ccsm I loose the launch bar, dash
  and top menu bar.  I'm going to try to mark this as a duplicate of
  875400 but I wanted the apport additional information attached and
  can't seem to find the proper description to mark it as such here.
