<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Not being one to "fix it if it ain't broke", I was impelled over this<br>
past weekend to finally upgrade my Ubuntu Studio box from 9.10 (Karmic,<br>
which is now unsupported) to 10.4 (Lucid/LTS). Things actually went<br>
pretty smoothly, with only a couple of issues after the upgrade reboot.<br>
<br>
1. Upon initial login, my Gnome UI's windows were missing the title-bar<br>
decoration, which meant that I couldn't move or resize windows(!).<br>
After a bit of puzzling about this, I right-clicked on the desktop<br>
background to bring up "Change Desktop Background", went to the "Visual<br>
Effects" tab, changed the setting from "None" (somehow [re]set by the<br>
upgrade) to "Normal", clicked Close -- and windows were a-ok again.<br>
<br>
2. More vexing than the above: I now see that my (sound) Volume Control<br>
app (pavucontrol) dies repeatedly after "some long use" with a<br>
"Connection failed: Connection refused" error box. This is repeatable,<br>
but I cannot find the cause yet. Attempts to click on the menu-bar icon<br>
to restart the app just give me another "Connection refused" box,<br>
until...<br>
<br>
I can get things restarted with the following com-line:<br>
<br>
$ pulseaudio & pavucontrol<br>
<br>
This gives yet another "Connection refused" error box, but after<br>
dismissing this, the menu-bar icon works again. For awhile...<br>
<br>
Anyone got any experience with this problem? And a good, permanent fix?<br>
<br>
I've checked my resources, esp. Ubuntu Forums (Studio threads, etc.),<br>
but all I'm getting there is a lot of noise and conjecture, not much<br>
authoritative help.<br>
<br>
TIA for any wisdom, experience and/or helpful advice...<br>
best regards,<br>
-- Lorin<br>
