I updated yesterday - with sudo apt dist-upgrade - and since then have been experiencing this issue.
I log in normally, the desktop appears (with icons) but nothing else. With right mouse click I can open a terminal, but windows have no borders and no menus. I have tried moving the following with no luck (rebooting where needed): 1. mv ~/.config/dconf/user to user.old 2. sudo dconf reset -f /org/compiz 3. rm ~/.gconf ~/.gconfd ~/.metacity ~/.compiz ~/.compiz-1 ~/.config/compiz-1 ~/.config/dconf -rf 4. mv ~/.config ~/.config.old 5. ccsm & and enabling unity plugin 6. I checked .Xauthority, etc but permissions were fine 7. setsid unity 8. and a few other things found online Couple things to note. 1. The guest user can login with no difficulty and gets a normal desktop 2. My .xsession-errors only contain this: openConnection: connect: No such file or directory cannot connect to brltty at :0 I'm running Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS Cheers, BB -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1285444 Title: Login Successful, Desktop Never Loads To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/at-spi2-core/+bug/1285444/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
