** Summary changed: - Compiz crashes when booting to raring live session + Compiz driven ubiquity-dm crashes when booting raring ** Description changed: - Booting to live session with amd64 and amd64+mac 20121203 images on a VM - leads to a black blank screen. Booting i386 live session on a VM does - not face this issue. On the hardware, raring-desktop-amd64.iso is not - facing this issue either. I could not test the amd64+mac image on the - hardware since booting to live session is facing some other issue that - is blocking this. + Booting to live session with on a VM leads to a black blank screen with + just the top bar.
