[Bug 1437765] Re: No desktop after upgrade to 14.10

 

After some searching, I found a comment suggesting that resetting my ATI
graphics driver using "aticonfig --initial" might help.  I did that, and
now I get slightly further.

Now when I log in I get the basic file management functionality on the
desktop: icons and a context menu.  But no Unity buttons on the left-
hand side of the screen, no Super key, and no terminal when I press
ctrl-alt-T.  Also, no window decorations with drag bars, close button
and so on.

Title:
  No desktop after upgrade to 14.10

Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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)

  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.
