Metacity does not initialize in the user session after upgrade to Lucid

[Jonas Diaz]

Binary package hint: metacity

After I did an upgrade to Lucid via my internet connection Metacity does not initialize in every session that I begin on my PC. I have to manually run metacity --replace to bring it back.

does it work fine in another user session? could you attach your ~/.xsession-errors file after getting the error? Thanks.

The bug did not appear anymore after an actualization. Thanks for your help!...

This affects me too.

:~$ grep metacity .xsession-errors

Window manager warning: Failed to read saved session file /home/jonathon/.config/metacity/sessions/107af94427bcf03b48126843821365590400000013140004.ms: Failed to open file '/home/jonathon/.config/metacity/sessions/107af94427bcf03b48126843821365590400000013140004.ms': No such file or directory

Problem is repeatable on each boot. Metacity doesn't load automatically and has to be started manually.

Is this linked to bug #150721

EOL have been reached, so no more maintenance. If that issue still exist, then report again using ubuntu-bug.
