[Touch-packages] [Bug 1212987] Re: Unity not starting after boot
Same issue... Here's my details... I have an old Acer Aspire 7520 that I decided to load Ubuntu Desktop 14.04LTS from LiveUSB key. It installed nicely, except when I pass the login screen, I received a garbled screen because of my Nvidia graphics card that doesn't play nicely with the default Nouveau drivers. Knowing this is a graphics driver issue, I restart in recovery mode (which comes up normally with launcher and desktop in 1024x768) and fix the drivers outlined here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia Afterwards, I log back in (either in recovery mode or normally) and I receive the empty desktop now, without launcher and an empty desktop. I'm unable to get CTRL-ALT-F1/F2/T to work. I attempted a range of fixes from installing gnome to resetting Unity and haven't found an solution to bring back the launcher. At this momement my install is botched. and unusable.

I'm getting this issue on 14.04. However, enabling Unity via ccsm doesn't work. Thank goodness my backup program is a .sh file I can run from a terminal, or I'd have lost days of work.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1212987] Re: Unity not starting after boot
I am having the same issue myself after doing a fresh install of 14.04 64-bit. I have tried most (but admittedly not all, as I am new to Ubuntu) of the fixes listed in http://askubuntu.com/questions/17381 /unity-doesnt-load-no-launcher-no-dash-appears/ to no avail. As Ross stated above, after login I get wallpaper only, Ctrl-Alt-T doesn't get a terminal, but Ctrl-Alt-F1 works OK. I would only add that sometimes Ctrl-Alt-F1 does not work if it is not done fast enough. (After a bit, the whole thing locks up so bad that the keyboard and mouse no longer work.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1212987 Title: Unity not starting after boot Status in Unity: Confirmed Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After boot today.
