10.04 Window manager not working
- by jackg
Using an old mx200 128Mb AGP card.
Log in ok.
Sometimes the top and bottom bars do not appear, sometimes one sometimes both sometimes none.
The menus on firefox/thunderbird and others disappear when I move the pointer from the menu heading to the menu itself.
I can't play you tube videos, nor pacman, so the world has ended as I know it.
If I type sudo metacity --replace in a terminal
the window manager seems to work fine.
But I don't know how to make this permanent.
One option was:
System menupreferencessessions
In the sessions tab make sure that "automatically save changes to session" is checked.
I don't have a sessions option in the preferences menu. So...?
Must be a line of code in a terminal I can use to get round this.
I have not upgraded to Ubuntu 11... because the graphics card is so old that I cannot get any decent screen resolutions when I do. On 10.04 I disable the Nvidia driver for the same reason and use 1024x768.
