So the giant pain in the backside that is called ubuntu upgrade
isnt over...its a long stupid story however I did find a solution
that at least let me reboot into a gui
Lets start with ... the ONLY way I could make any progress, was erasing
my hard drive and installing from scratch
Hi
I very much appreciate the assistance.
Im ok getting into terminal as long as its a copy and paste kinda deal, Im a
gui user having moved over from windows
but over the last few years I have gotten fairly familiar with what does what
when it comes to ubuntu/linux...
and have no problem
I just upgraded to 14.04 yesterday I waited a while after it came out
because last time I upgraded to 12. the upgrade hosed me so fricking bad
I had to wipe my drive and start again.
I did a test by upgrading my laptop first that went fine, so feeling a
little more confident in ubuntu this time
If you just want to try my fix skip to end of post.
I also stumbled up on this bug in the summer. It took me a while but I managed
to solve it in the end for me. (Had the problem on 6 or 7 older computers.)
I was sure I documented it here as well but it appears I did not.
It was a while ago but
Hi John
Thanks for the heads up... I was literally 2 seconds away from clicking install
on the cd rom
and wiping my installation... (something I REALLY do not want to do)
I was REALLY hoping your solution would work... but sadly it already says
simply ubuntu
in user session :(

Hi Bob!
Updated my name - still the same person.
Ok, it might also be that this bug has been open for so long time that
we are seeing multiple issues in here.
I know this feeling all too well. I have helped a lot of people to Linux
and in many cases to Ubuntu. It is always fun to get a phone
I am also affected.

I think I'm having the same problem. It started happening shortly after
upgrading from 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS. There are two user accounts on
my system. One works fine. The other experiences this problem - hangs
with only background image displayed after login. I've waited a half
hour and
I ran apt-get update today and found the problem is solved! I check the
apt history log and find that xdg-utils is updated. Is that the most
probable cause?

An update.
I had written here that I seemed to be affected by this bug too, but I
remembered later that just before running the Software Updater gui
tool I had enabled the pre-released updates update source. After the
update the system wouldn't boot, and seemed totally hosed. But I had a
backup
I recently installed ubuntu studio 14.4/trusty and though the
installation seemd to go well and the system had been working fine,
yesterday when I ran the gui Software Updater and did a restart when
the updates were done (as it wanted me to do) the computer went through
a welcome screen that says
I am experiencing this problem on Xubuntu 14.04 after an upgrade today.
I have tried all the suggestions I could find on internet , such as
reconfig/reinstall lightdm and xubuntu-desktop, clear session cache,
remove Xauthority, restart lightdm time and time again, but still cannot
work around this
I have checked auth.log and found something interesting. When
everything is OK, the log looks like this

I guess I'm having the same issue on Ubuntu 14.10.
Session opening takes so long it can be mistaken for a freeze (up to 90, evn
120 seconds sometimes).
If I update Ubuntu 14.10 with xorg-edgers repos, session does not open.

I don't this this is specific to just LightDM. I tried installing KDM to

I am experiencing exactly the same problem, the desktop freeze after
click login and the keyboard does not response. I think systmed is the
most probable cause since I found this in auth.log:

This also happened to me on 3 fresh installs and upgrades from 13.10
combined, both on hardware and VMs. Exact behaviour. Works fine until
apt-get upgrade is run for the first time. It disables auto-login if
configured and then hangs as soon as the password is entered, staying on
the lightdm

This bug (or a related one) still seems to be around after the final
beta freeze. I've installed the 14.04 beta, and while I can login with
my primary account, other users on the same machine can't log in - the
greeter just sits there until you hit Esc. Also applies to the guest
account.

We had someone on Ubuntu forums with what seemed to be this issue. User
deadflowr suggested it was because /usr/share/xsessions/ubuntu.desktop
was missing, and indeed it was. So the related package, ubuntu-session
was missing. Why? I don't know. As far as I know the user was doing
fresh installs
It prevents the package (or a dependent one) from functioning correctly
at all.
