[Bug 1251997] [NEW] blank screen after login in all sessions except lxde

 

Public bug reported:

After update I got this  very annoying bug.

I can login in console, but, other than occassional windows with apport
trash, I see nothing except a mouse pointer. It happens with ubuntu,
gnome (all variants), cinnamon and openbox sessions. Only lxde (which a
very expert friend suggested I tested) works.

The bug was further complicated by the fact that network-manager is
unusable without X, the laptop does not have ethernet and I have only
wifi here :(. I had to use usb tethering with my phone to install lxde
and suffered a 36hours blackout
