Boot computer, boot proceeds normally 2. Reach standard Ubuntu login screen, nothing seems to be amiss 3. Enter user name and password 4. Login disappears, just see the pink "Ubuntu 14.04" background The desktop never loads, not even after ~30 minutes. The launcher never appears, and the Desktop background never changes to the user- configured background. Other features: * Cursor works fine, it can be moved around the screen * No error messages pop up * ALT+F1 etc. can be used to switch to different TTYs; all files on the system appear to be intact * Print screen button works (I will upload a screen shot when I get a chance to copy it onto a USB drive) * Hitting power button pops up a window prompting the user to decide whether to shut down * CTRL+ALT+DELETE prompts the user to log out * Desktop does not load on any user accounts, including the guest account To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/at-spi2-core/+bug/1285444/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
