Comment 38 for bug 813343

HI Axel,

I know you are using a minimal xorg but I am not understanding what is the point when we are trying to get twinview working with unity. I have no issues when running with one screen, expo works, indicators work, themes work. As soon as I apply my Natty working xorg the entire desktop breaks, hence why I mention those other bugs. They might be separate bugs but they are all related to the general corruption of the unity desktop when twinview is turned on.

I had none of these issues in Natty except one, I have attached a screenshot of that below. The one that says "could not apply the stored config for monitors". That occurs at boot and remains until I click close. Then I am left with the broken desktop as described before and the other attachment shows the missing themes. If I log out lightdm also has missing theme yes in a similar way.

There is no packages called unity-desktop, do you perhaps mean ubuntu-desktop? And yes that is installed by default and I have checked it it there.

No PPA's were used in former times, this is a default install from scratch and I have tried installing it twice and checking my image consistency.

No other managers were ever used.

I have opened another bug for expo issue (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/854556). Thats been logged for over a month now and it's only barely been touched and marked as confirmed, not assigned. From all the issues I see, as soon as I turn on twinview, I suspect that as soon as the main issue with twinview is fixed all the other will fall in place.

What still concerns me is the lack of action being done on this bug, it's still being marked as invalid for unity but confirmed for nvidia yet not assigned. We have already proven that nvidia-settings works 100% in XFCE and I have just tried installing it and it worked fine for me too. I also don't get any errors during login. Ofcourse i can't test expo but still, no errors and a working dual desktop by using nvidai settings and not my xorg.conf (which also works BTW)

Due to all of these things as far as I am concerned this is a unity issue and I would really like to see some Canonical developer input on this issue urgently.
