system-settings transparent

[Bruno Produit]

In each possible menu there is in system-settings the window is transparent.
As an example if you go in "online accounts" the whole window will be transparent exept the buttons.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Same issue here too, Plus the Settings Menu is Broken too ,not option to resize the menu in the botton right.

I had this issue, but also noticed a few other bugs (like doubled up Printer icons, old icons that shouldn't be there any more, missing icons and some settings failing such as the screen settings) - I fixed it simply through an apt-get install ubuntu-desktop (although I imagine just doing the system settings app would probably have worked too.)

I strongly suspect it's a side effect of going from 14.04 to 14.10 as the distribution upgrade app broke near the end on all machines I did the upgrade on and the process had to be manually fixed on all machines I did such an upgrade on (that taught me a lesson!)

Did you guys also have a similar almost-a-show-stopper distribution upgrade bug, by any chance?

(SO sorry I'm sparse on details - if it becomes relevant I can do some research and backtrack and locate the bug .)

Had the same issue. Fixed by installing unity-control-center

I had som problem with my sound and tried to "sudo apt-get remove --purge alsa-base pulseaudio indicator-sound" then I saw that it was going to install some gnome stuff and after that the settings got transparent

[Frans (frans-b-gmail)]

I run "sudo apt-get remove gnome-settings-daemon" and now everything works

[Jesse McNichol (mcnichol)]

Frans, thanks for the tip. I had the exact same problem and your fix did the trick. I think I also know what happened - I installed the "ibus" input method for language input, and it seemed to have installed some gnome software that was incompatible with Ubuntu 14.10.

On fresh installation of Ubuntu 14.10, sound was getting played simultaneously from the speakers and the headphones. I did "sudo apt-get remove --purge alsa-base pulseaudio indicator-sound" and now no sound is coming at all and also the "system settings" is having transparent background.

Same issue here, removing package overlay-scrollbar fixed it.
