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

 

No need. I found what is going on and fixed.

The machine got installed the nvidia-319-updates (I think this is a bug
either in the 13.04 installer or in the 13.10 upgrader, as the machine
has no nvidia hardware). A dist-upgrade, be it nvidia319 proper, kernel,
xorg or whatever, made it then kick in and stop OpenGL working.

Without GL only xlde was functional, this is what I was experiencing.

Once I did sudo apt-get purge nvidia-319* and rebooted everything worked
again...

If you tell me which log can tell the history of nvidia* stuff getting
in I'll gladly send it. But I don't think debugging boot makes sense
anymore for this bug.

Now, for the constant SIGSEGV of wpa_suplicant on resume it would be
great to have a fix. Apport reports it like daily, but I've yet to see a
solution after several months of wasted bandwidth, CPU and time... :)

Title:
  blank screen after login in all sessions except lxde

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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
