I do get the Initial Purple Ubuntu Start Up Purple Screen with the Progress dots, It then goes to a Black Background Screen with Active Mouse Cursor Displayed. It is at this point that the GUI would then usually be displayed. But since this last update, IT DOESN'T!!
There is no "Make and Model". System is Older home built PT800CE-A Mother Board, Pentium4 3.00Ghz. ATI 9600PRO Series Graphics Card (had to swap out cards once about a year or so back). There are no current proprietary (Catalyst) drivers available for this older series card, which is practically the only thing which can be used with this older mother board's 8X AGP slot. This IS definitely a Bug caused by the 08-09-2016 Update, And I need a solution, not a typical run-around. If I Hold Right Shift to get to the Grub Menu while booting, and attempt to Load a previous release Generic it still now generates the same problem. If I use CTRL+ALT+F5 and log in, then startx - I get (EE) Fatal Server Error. (EE) Server is already active for display 0. If from this screen I attempt sudo apt-get install desktop I get.. Your Hardware Enablement Stack (HWE) Is Supported until April 2017. Unable to locate Package Desktop. If I Boot from the Original Bootable Install Thumb Drive, and use the 'Try Ubuntu' option it has No Problems presenting the GUI. But no way to access any of my more recent (what previously were functional updates), files, applications, or settings. If this had been done attempting to force End of Service see the above part about the (HWE) Still being in the Support Time Frame. This problem was 'closed in it's bug report form', bug 1611392. Which I feel to have been Incorrectly 'Closed' IGNORED, aa this is a legitimate BUG/ISSUE Which was directly CAUSED BY THE 08-09-2016 UPDATE Which leaves only this as yet UNRESOLVED problem report, Question 329410. As there are No Other provided Question Tracking Numbers for this STILL UNRESOLVED issue.. Therefore, attempts to get this report, Question 329410 to also be closed, are direct attempts to HIDE AND IGNORE an UPDATE CAUSED ISSUE. on a System which STILL HAS A VALID SUPPORTED HARDWARE STACK TIME FRAME. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1611392 Title: 08-09-2016 UPDATE FAILED, NO COMPIZ, NO GUI.
