Public bug reported:
On Ubuntu Impish.
Since the system was updated 2021-06-15, Unity is not loading properly, if at
all:
Lightdm is not working anymore, the system loads to a black screen with a
cursor. Gdm3 does work and is able to load the Unity session.
Once in Unity, I’m greeted by an error message instead of the regular Ubuntu
background:
“Something went wrong.
An error occurred and the system can’t load.
Log out and try again.
‘Close session’ button.”
Using the Alt+launcher number, I am sometimes able to start an app, and after
several, Unity may load, launcher and all, but the error message stays in the
background.
The environment theming and icons have all changed and Unity Tweak Tool can’t
switch them back. GTK may be involved.
Some features have been lost:
I can’t start the calculator from the keyboard shortcut, number lock is not
enabled on start up
Settings > Power doesn’t return any energy readings.
I can’t put the system to sleep. If I hit Fn+F8 on my keyboard, the session
kinda resets and most (all) my apps are killed.
Upon first loading the sessions, there is no cursor. If I manage to load and
access Nemo, then the cursor appears with a big X, and eventually shows an
arrow.
Etc.
