[regression] Some Display settings have gone missing: Scale, Launcher placement

[Patrick Johnson]

There appear to be other options missing as well. They should be under "General options" but there is nothing there.

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

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

This is a big deal. Without the Scale slider Yakkety is now unusable on high DPI displays.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Weird because I can see it here:
/usr/share/unity-control-center/ui/display-capplet.ui

[Robert Ancell (robert-ancell)]

This is due to XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP now containing more than one value, i.e. it is "Unity:Unity7" when it used to be "Unity". u-c-c is still incorrectly doing a simple string comparison to check if it is running under Unity. Looks like this fix for this never got completed / applied (bug 1554878).

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Seems to be fixed today. But what fixed it?

[Robert Ancell (robert-ancell)]

gnome-session (3.20.2-1ubuntu6) yakkety; urgency=medium

  * Set DesktopNames back to Unity. There are many buggy components that don't
    know how to deal with XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP having multiple values, and it's
    too close to the release to fix them all.

Marking invalid since it no longer occurs - it will be fixed by the linked branch ultimately which will allow gnome-session to update XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP if they want.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package unity-control-center - 15.04.0+16.10.20161003.1-0ubuntu1

---------------
unity-control-center (15.04.0+16.10.20161003.1-0ubuntu1) yakkety; urgency=medium

  [ Robert Ancell ]
  * Don't check if we're running under Unity - we only support Unity
    (LP: #1554878, #1629668)
  * Ubuntu only supports usernames with lowercase letters. (LP:
    #1600638)

  [ Sebastien Bacher ]
  * Revert the change from r12750 to include only graphical sessions.
    (LP: #1380364)

  [ <email address hidden> ]
  * Removed "when battery is critical" functionality from the power
    panel as this is now handled by Upower and these settings now do
    nothing. Fixes LP: #1599264 (LP: #1599264)
