What session and theme do you use?

[Kunal Shah (kunalv-shah)]

Hi,

How do I find this information? I know how to check themes in 16.04 but in 17.10 I am not able to locate that setting so not able to tell you exactly. If it helps, I am using outbox theme that comes with default installation of Ubuntu 17.10 and with wayland display server not xOrg.

Thanks
Kunal Shah

What session do you use? The Ubuntu theme is orange which doesn't match your screenshot...

hi,

I use wayland session not xOrg. Please let me know if I can run some command and give you output to give you more information. I have not changed any theme or session. I am using what ubuntu 17.10 installed on my desktop.

Thanks

it would have been easier to use ubuntu-bug to report the issue, it would have included the session/versions/errors informations.

Could you add your /var/log/syslog to the bug and add the output of the "env | grep -i session" command?

I am seeing the same thing in Ubuntu 18.04 w/ the Classic Gnome login. I do not see it with the Ubuntu login.
