Dark theme and custom icons are lost after logging out

[Pawel Horna]

When I log out and log in back the Dark System Theme is switched back to White System Theme.
After logging back any operation is sluggish (simply opening directory takes like 20 seconds) also icons theme is reset to the default.

As you haven't responded to comment #1 please tell us which release or flavour of Ubuntu you are using.

I'm changing the status to 'Incomplete' as no-one can help you without knowing that vital information.

Bug reports should be about a single issue so let's just deal with the lost theme and icons.

Hi Paul,

Ubuntu 24.04 workstation desktop - vanilla flavour.

Another issue was the mouse cursor escaping through the upper right part of
the working space. Simply if you would divide the workspace into 4 equal
parts the right edge of the top right quadrant is letting the mouse cursor
out. Very strange behaviour. That was experienced after some time of
working with the system.

Another issue was the snapping windows - when the upper half top area
orange indicator stayed for the whole session. Top right screen was
permanently covered by the orange transparent window position indicator.

I also had a complete crash by changing the mouse cursor from yaru to a
different one. Rebooting was not helping, the system was crashing right
back after the login. I had to reinstall.

Right now I reinstalled another distro as 24.04 is not ready yet.

I have an Nvidia RTX 3090 (2560 x 1440) - proprietary drivers installed by
Ubuntu by the installation, AMD AM4 5950X, the only other package installed
for visuals was gnome-tweaks. Dock moved to the bottom, no panel - just
dock in the middle, icons size 48 pt.

Kind regards,
Pawel

Thanks for your reply Pawel, I think all of these issues have been reported elsewhere so have been known for some time, may be even before the release of Ubuntu 24.04 on April 25th.

As you've installed another distribution I'm going to close this as being an invalid report as you're seeing several problems with the new release which should be reported seperately. That is not to say your issues are not valid but they are covered elsewhere and will no doubt be fixed in due course. I think you'll find them under the gnome-shell, mutter and yaru-theme packages.

Which is why I'm running Kubuntu 24.04....:o)
