Hi Everyone,

I've been experimenting with Trusty too see what breakage is in store for
us with the new LTS. So far I'm happy to report that my
NFS/Autofs/OpenLDAP/SSSD environment is working as expected.

I'm having some issues with VNC though. It appears gnome-session-fallback
is now a transitional package for gnome-session-flashback and my
.vnc/xstartup from 12.04 no longer works under 14.04.

The logs have:

** (process:19927): WARNING **: software acceleration check failed: Child
process exited with code 1
** (gnome-session:19927): CRITICAL **: We failed, but the fail whale is
dead. Sorry....

My .vnc/xstartup file looks like this:

#!/bin/sh
# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
unset SESSION_MANAGER
gnome-session --session=gnome-fallback &
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r /u/blkperl/.Xresources ] && xrdb /u/blkperl/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey

A quick google search shows others are having the same issues on Saucy. My
Saucy test box also had the same issue.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
William Van Hevelingen
