GNOME Classic & Flashback sessions

[ventrical]

It's not installed here either and it still doesn't work after most recent updates. 1 and 1/2 minute before panel and desktop show up. I tried to adjust some compiz settings , but to no avail.

Same here: it wasn't installed but after it was installed it had little effect. Also 1 and 1/2 minutes here for the desktop to show up but after that it's pretty smooth.

Metacity is affected also. never seen it so bad. Usually we get this long delay before plymouth or before login screen.

Looks like a traffic cop somewhere in the code. I remember we had something like this during 11.10 or during Precise beta testing . It was just awful.. and it turned out to be one of the devs put a 'wait' command for 2 minutes on a line that should not have been there. I forget the bug. Hmmmm..

Hey guys

Is there any signs that this is getting a fix sometime soon

[ventrical]

I just zsynced todays daily 386.iso <ubuntu>, fresh installed downloaded gnome-session-flashback and the delay now is worse than before. 2 minutes...

Also .. Ubiquity is showing a 'wide-out' horizontal screen and the automatic partitioner slider is not visible (yet it still partitions the half average size of disk.

Thanks I was just going to ask the same question. I guess I'll stick with what I have for now.

Jonathan Carter is still on board:

So wipe the sweat from your brow

We'll be fine, we just need to remember that people have lives, families, and careers as well as their involvement in **buntu

GNOME Sensors Applet works again:

That should mean we can live w/o this PPA:

So hats off to Alex Murray for his great work

Using Trusty Gnome 14.04 behaves for me as it should, attempting to switch into 'with compiz' is a 3 to 4 minute wait and no nothing in either top or bottom bars, 'with metacity' total disaster.

My install is from the iso dated 16.12.2013 with the updates as per synaptic manager.

Trusty Unity works beautifully.

One of the Edubuntu devs posted a workaround for that desktop-loading-slowly bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...961/comments/8

I gave it a try:

lance@lance-desktop:~$ sudo -i
[sudo] password for lance: 
root@lance-desktop:~#  echo '#!/bin/sh
>  /usr/bin/gnome-panel &' > /usr/local/bin/gnome-panel
root@lance-desktop:~#  chmod +x /usr/local/bin/gnome-panel
root@lance-desktop:~#

And it does work in a metacity session

So hopefully that will help find a true fix
