Comment 24 for bug 1009216

Quote: [those "steps" are not really detailled, what is "I was checking to see if progress had been made on bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1002641 after todays updates.", what action does that include?]

0.Start 12.04 in default Gnome Classic/fallback (GCF), run update manager.
1 From GCF enable screen1 as separate X·session using nvidia-settings saving xorg.conf.
2.Log out/in GCF.
3.Observe https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1002641
4.Log out GCF, Log in Unity
5.Observe https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1002641
6.Disable screen1 using nvidia-settingss saving xorg.conf.
7.Log out Unity, Log In GCF
8.Observe https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1009216

During the above no changes were made by me with CCSM to configuration.
My standard CCSM configuration shown in the CCSM attachments to this bug.

A fresh installation would take several days: 10.10 update-manager to 11.04, 11.04 update-manager to 11.11, 11.11 update-manager to 12.04, install Gnome Classic/fallback.

The bug report was made after step 8 above, so anything in the bug report that differs from my standard CCSM setting would have been made without notification to me.

Note that these are the steps that recovered a working standard CCSM confiuration and caused the Launcher to go away.

1. Verify standard CCSM settings (see attachments) are actually in CCSM.
2. Discover the previously overlooked setting under the category "Uncategorized" was "Unity Grab Handles" and it was checked.
3. Uncheck "Unity Grab Handles".
4. Observe Compiz crash, offering a popup window, "Examine, &c...."; decline.
5. Observe CCSM setting have reverted to apparently what they were after step 7 above.
6. Reset CCSM settings to my standard.
7. Observe no change in Compiz from changing settings, i.e. Desktop from 2x2 to 1x4 ―> no change.
8. Log out/in GCF.
9. Observe expected behavior with standard CCSM settings.

A fresh installation would take several days, 10.10>11.04,11.04>11.10,12.10>12.04,install GFC. This system was upgraded from a clone of my 10.04 boot in November over a year ago, and is used to support a 64bit Mythtv client (successfully and easily upgraded form 10.10) and a 64 bit 10.10 Mythtv 10.10 client/server waiting to be upgraded. It is "tuned" for audi-visual-graphic work.

The upgrade to 10.10 for mythtv was required because of a hardware bug in the mythtv client/server

I am downloading the ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso and will do a live_cd attempt if this bug is taken seriously. I will run it from a USB stick (preferrably) or a CD.

Please let me know if it is possible to run GCF, nvidia, 2nd monitor from live_cd and what you would like me to record, observe, &c.
