I resolved the problem for myself. I searched for compiz related files in my wife's home directory and found .config/compiz-1/compizconfig/config
In there, she had a config resembling the following: [general_ubuntu] profile = unity-lowgfx I, on the other hand, had a config like this: [general_ubuntu] profile = unity I changed her config to match mine and logged her back in and it was fixed. I note others complaining of similar errors found that switching *to* low GFX fixed the errors for them prior to a patch hitting upstream. I don't know how my wife got the lowgfx config while I didn't. Neither of us have manually messed with these configs in the past. Both our systems were working fine yesterday (23 March UTC+8). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1758009 Title: Unity not starting: compiz-config crashes on login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1758009/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
