[Bug 1437765] [NEW] No desktop after upgrade to 14.10

 

Public bug reported:

After upgrading my desktop machine from 14.04 to 14.10, I no longer have
a desktop.  The login screen works, but after logging in, I get just the
backdrop image and a mouse pointer.  Nothing else.

The pointer responds to mouse movements, and I can switch to a text
console using ctrl-alt-F<n>, which is how I installed KDE in order to
file this bug.  But I can no longer open a terminal with ctrl-alt-T, or
switch workspaces with ctrl-alt-<arrow>.

My .xsession-errors after logging in showed:

X Error of failed request:  BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  155 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  19 (X_GLXQueryServerString)
  Serial number of failed request:  22
  Current serial number in output stream:  22

This is quite a slow machine, so normally it'd take a while to complete
a graphical login.  But now, when I log in and immediately switch to a
graphical console to run "top," it doesn't show much going on.  External
filesystem volumes are not auto-mounted under /media the way they
usually are.
