[Bug 1305438] Re: hot corners stop working time to time

 

Disabling "SHOW LIVE PREVIEWS OF WINDOWS IN THE SWITCHER" may work for
show desktop, but I don't use it so I can't tell. However it doesn't
work on scale's hot corner on reboot. You still have to log out and then
log in again for the corner to activate, but then you may as well
restart Unity, it is faster (without disabling "show live preview"
logout and login doesn't work at all)

My previous workaround a few months ago doesn't seem to work anymore,
mostly lilkely thanks to some updates along the way (tested with
different hard drives).

Half of the times unity just doesn't start properly  and have to
manually shut down, on reboot it goes through disk checking and what
not. It seems that somehow for whatever reason the file system get
corrupted if restarting Unity doesn't complete successfully at start up
(manually restarting after login is OK)  Have reformatted and restore
from last working image many times since last night.  Well if they don't
fix something at least don't screw it up with updates, now I have no
idea which update is the culprit.
