Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

In openGL mode some applets but not all from Cairo Dock 2.1.4 to 2.2.0 Beta in Lucid 10.04 LTS are rendered with 100% transparency thus making them invisible.

Apps affected are e.g. musicPlayer, dustbin, switcher, system monitor. Clock or weather applet are rendered as should. In addition some icons may become transparent when attached to the dock. This can be fixed by reloading the icon theme.

Developers of Cairo Dock say this is a known bug with some ATI cards http://www.glx-dock.org/bg_topic.php?t=4409&pos=0#mess_56968 and should be reported to the driver developers.

Similar issue is obtained on an ATI Mobility Radeon X300, Lucid Lynx and Glx/Cairo-dock with the openGL backend (lauch with "cairo-dock -o").
The only difference are the impossibility to "fixed by reloading the icon theme".

I have the same: ATI card with Ubuntu 10.4. Some icons appear, some do not, like "Desktop", "PulseAudio", and "Terminal". Without open-gl everything is being displayed. Sounds like a problem that is simple to repair when root-cause is identified.

When making the icon size very small (ie 2 px) in the app's setting then something that small is actually being displayed. Enlarging makes it disappear again. No use then - but maybe a point to start searching for the cause.

I have the same problem with a Radeon RV250 card. Non-static icons are not displayed on the open GL dock on start-up. When I then change the icon size in the docks setting, all icons are displayed correctly till the end of the session.

Takkat, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-video-ati REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

Thank you for getting back to this. Unfortunately we switched to Nvidia a
while ago so I will be of little help in further investigating this
ATI-related issue. Sorry for that.
