---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I installed xfce with sudo aptitude install xfce4 thunar, logged out of gnome & into xfce to be greeted by a constant bombardment of error messages. I've attached a screenie & crash logs, it'll take me a while to search Launchpad for all this as I've a lot on my plate atm.

Does that happen every time or just the first time?

Just the first time ;)

PS. Now that i'm not under constant bombardment, I've noticed some weird button labels & missing menu icons:

But if you have successfully installed Ubuntu, the installation is a Pass. That problem isn't with the CD image installation. It's a gnome/xfce problem.

Have you searched for that problem on Launchpad, and if it hasn't been filed yet, have you done it?

To be blatantly honest, I can't be bothered with Launchpad, I've received 101 emails about bugs I know nothing about. I was simply posting for informational purposes, hoping it would be of benefit to someone.

:-\"

Well, I know the problem of filing a bug and then being on some list... but please reconsider from NOT filing a bug. That your problem is of interest to some developers is absolutely sure! But give them a chance to solve your problem. I mean you tell "them" (yea, I am not a developer) that something sucks but you will not tell them what exactly it is. So are not given a chance at all to help you the next time... Isn't this, I mean, a bit... ](*,) ?
Because it you stick to that approach you will a) constantly waste time in posting annoyed testing expereinces into the forum but you will b) never get your problems solved.

Wouldn't you appreciate that XFCE "just works(TM)" in Feisty+1?
So, give them a chance and be part of the solution and not just the problem (indicator).

PS. I am pretty sure that you can switch off the feature of getting 101 emails in launchpad. Else file a but :biggrin: because I agree with you it should be possible!

That problem you say about receiving a lot of bugs reports you haven't participate is because those bugs are duplicates from yours, and as you are subscribed to yours, you receive also the others (the duplicates).

You can receive none of them (nor yours neither duplicates) clicking on unsubscribe myself (at the left menu on the bug report). But then you won't notice any change on the bug.

Please, fill in a bug if it hasn't been filled (if it has, then comment it and say you have the same, and provide any useful info). If you don't do that, as madmaxx has said, that bug may not be solved.

never get your problems solved.
Not my problems - I only decided to test because of the request on the homepage & a spare afternoon.

XFCE is getting worse with each Ubuntu release & this has nothing to do with XFCE. XFCE users should consider Dreamlinux/Zenwalk.


That problem you say about receiving a lot of bugs reports you haven't participate is because those bugs are duplicates from yours, and as you are subscribed to yours, you receive also the others (the duplicates).
I'm getting response notifications of bugs that I've had no involvement with, whether duplicates or not & a lot of them!

):P

We appreciate the testing, but if you are not going to report the bugs you find, your test is useless. If you are just going to have fun with the installer, do it, but I don't think that's what a tester is supposed to do.

Maybe you are subscribed to a mailing list with a high volume on bugs reports, such us the bugsquad, the desktop bugs, or any other? If you don't know why, you can join #launchpad on freenode and ask for a Launchpad/Malone developer.

Of report a bug across Malone itself, telling your problem. If you do it sure you will get an answer or a fix for this.
