After migrating from another PC, I installed all packages (including nvidia drivers). Since my new PC doesn't have an nvidia card, only HD4000, I removed the nvidia with "apt-get purge nvidia*". Then I had this problem. Same errors in .xsession-errors.
"gsettings reset org.compiz.core:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/core/ active-plugins" has fixed it for now. TL;DR removing nvidia drivers can cause this problem. Should reset compiz after remove. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1166765 Title: unity showing only blank desktop, no dash nor decorations To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1166765/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
