Thanks for the tip on what to attach and how to get it. I take it that you meant to say sudo chown OLDUSER /home/OLDUSER/xsession-errors (note the "s" after the "x" in xsession).
I am attaching the file as requested. It looks like a display/graphics card/compiz issue. Oddly, this does not come up for the existing users, and I would not use compiz anyway as it does not work with the open source ATI graphics drivers. (No, system would not let me add closed-source drivers even if I try -- a separate issue?) Please let me know if I can help in any other way. ** Attachment added: "xsession-errors from new user, as requested" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/32131773/xsession-errors -- New desktop users get just white screen with mouse pointer moving https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/432743 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
