[Bug 1528473] [NEW] Unity session doesn't start after login from lightdm

 

Public bug reported:


lightdm authenticates and logs in a user and a session is created but the screen hangs there forever. 
Same for the guest user.

I am able to login from the other text terminals.

unity --replace results in 
WARNING: no DISPLAY variable set, setting it to :0
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/unity", line 207, in <module>
    run_unity  (options.verbose, options.debug, options.advanced_debug, options.compiz_path, args, options.log)
  File "/usr/bin/unity", line 129, in run_unity
    subprocess.call(["stop", "unity-panel-service"])
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 522, in call
    return Popen(*popenargs, **kwargs).wait()

    errread, errwrite)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1335, in _execute_child
    raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

sudo unity --replace starts compiz and unity with reduced functionality
i.e no applets or system bar and dbus errors.
