** Description changed: - After the update earlier today to Unity 5.8, I've found that when I try - logging into Unity 3D, all I get is a solid black screen and my mouse - cursor. I know it loaded some sort of desktop though, since I could - still hit Ctrl+Alt+T and blindly type `sudo reboot` followed by my - password to make my computer do a normal reboot. + WORKAROUND/FIX: + unity --reset + + TEST CASE: + Edit ~/.gconf/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/%gconf.xml and add an entry AFTER composite and BEFORE opengl for a dummy plugin name that does not exist. Log out and in again. + + ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: + After the update earlier today to Unity 5.8, I've found that when I try logging into Unity 3D, all I get is a solid black screen and my mouse cursor. I know it loaded some sort of desktop though, since I could still hit Ctrl+Alt+T and blindly type `sudo reboot` followed by my password to make my computer do a normal reboot. I do not get the same problem with GNOME Shell or Unity 2D (the latter of which I'm using now to report this bug), although for both the screen does temporarily turn black but only for a moment. Unity 5.6 3D used to work perfectly fine for me.
