[Bug 1420889] Re: Desktop fails to load after login (displays tiled backgrounds)

 

Thank for you taking the time to look into the issue.

Do note that I freely admit that I am not sure whether the problem is in
Unity.  However, also note that the problem does strongly suggest it is
related to ubuntu at some level as everything _was_ working until a
specific apt-get upgrade was executed (I wish I had more details about
the one that broke things).

So, if the problem is not in Unity, any ideas on who needs to be looking
at the issue?

Title:
  Desktop fails to load after login (displays tiled backgrounds)

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Was originally running 14.04-desktop in a VmWare Fusion v5-Pro guest.
  Ran fine for quite a while.  A certain update a few months ago
  introduced an issue where I could no longer log in graphically.  The
  guest console would present a normal login after boot, but attempting
  to log in causes the screen to display a tiled background and a
  failure to present any UI components.  Ssh access remains accessible,
  so it seems to be purely a graphical desktop problem.

  Anyway, I have since tried many things, including ensuring I had the
  latest updates, reinstalling unity, upgrading to 14.10, and upgrading
  Fusion to v7-Pro.  The result is exactly the same.  I will attach a
  screenshot.

  To be fair, I do not know for sure this is a unity bug.  But it is my
  best guess.
