Everything in Panel appears twice

[Peter Rhone]

Binary package hint: indicator-applet

My Plasma TV Monitor was coming up as 1024x768 after an upgrade to Natty. To restore the native resolution of 1360x768, I added the commands:

xrandr --newmode "1360x768_60.00" 84.75 1360 1432 1568 1776 768 771 781 798 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA1 1360x768_60.00
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1360x768_60.00

To /etc/gdm/Init/Default

This fixed the resolution problem, but unfortunately has messed with the panel in Unity. I will attach a screenshot. Essentially the entire indicator area appears twice, side by side. Both "copies" are fully functional.

I tried switching to Unity 2D to see if somehow that would help, but it didn't make a difference.

Any help would be appreciated.

thank you for your bug report? what version of you unity do you use? the issue was supposed to be fixed in the recent 3.6.8 update

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

3.8.8 rather

[Peter Rhone (prhone-gmail)]

tele@television:~$ apt-cache policy unity
unity:
  Installiert: 3.8.8-0ubuntu2
  Kandidat: 3.8.10-0ubuntu1

updating now, will post again if 3.8.10 has fixed the issue.

[Peter Rhone (prhone-gmail)]

This is *not* fixed by the Unity update (currently installed
3.8.10-0ubuntu1)

This bug is tagged as incomplete. If it is incomplete, please tell me
what info is missing and I will be more than happy to supply it.

Can you login to Ubuntu Classic session and see if the problem is there too, as you suggested the issue exists in both unity2d and 3d.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

Also, is this a permanent issue or happens on certain conditions?

[Peter Rhone (prhone-gmail)]

This problem happens consistently ever time I log in. Ubuntu classic,
however, works as expected.

could you add your .xsession-errors to the bug?

[Peter Rhone (prhone-gmail)]

attached xsession-errors from a unity session

Correction: Unity 2D works as expected, this only shows up in Unity 3D.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

setting to NEW as required info was provided. Peter do you face this issue still?

[Bilal Akhtar (bilalakhtar)]

Could you check if you face this issue with Unity 3.8.14 ?

[Peter Rhone (prhone-gmail)]

Yes, but not in unity2d which I am using as a workaround.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the issue could be bug #750481 which is fixed in https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/3.8.16-0ubuntu1~natty1

[Peter Rhone (prhone-gmail)]

Unfortunately not, I just upgraded to:
3.8.16-0ubuntu1~natty1
from the ppa, restarted, and the result is the same as the screenshot from my previous post.

I think that maybe that's because you installed extra applets on Ubuntu 10.10. It happened to me because I had installed a battery applet on Ubuntu 10.10 and then when I upgraded I had 2 battery applets.

I may be wrong in your case, but it's what happened to me.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

thanks for the bug report. Is that still an issue in Ubuntu 12.04?
