As the title suggests, i am stuck at the login screen. My system (ubuntu 14.04) was working fine and the problem appeared after i installed all updates and the following restart.

Basically i can log in, but unity won't load. I only see the standard wallpaper (not my personal) and i can use the mouse.

I tried several things...like

-install lightdm-gtk-greeter

-sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
export DISPLAY=:0
ccsm

-unity --reset

-sudo dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ (shows always wrong command...)

-enabling the unity plugin (the plugin was already enabled,so...)

-rm -rf ~/.compiz-1 ~/.config/compiz-1

If i "startx" (via ALT-CTRL-F1) i get this output

Edit: With the old Kernel 3.13-0-24 it works...the newer 3.13.0-27 is the problem

  • you can try my workaround over here http://askubuntu.com/questions/468204/no-panels-or-menus-after-upgrading-to-14-04/468431#468431 also did you try to reconfigure/reset X server sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? Or to reinstall your video card driver? This could also happen if you're not using the proprietary video drivers. – JoKeR May 28 '14 at 00:40
  • @user285911 Do you have the proprietary AMD driver installed? If yes, then probably since it won't support the newer kernel it maybe causing you troubles. In that case just delete your driver with sudo aticonfig --uninstall and unity should work fine with the newer kernel. – Venkatesh May 28 '14 at 11:43
