[Bug 1613430] Re: lightdm not showing gnome desktop option
Ok, then we know that the issue is not a result of your $HOME having been messed up due to multiple desktops. (A guest session is started with a fresh $HOME.) Thanks for your helpful responsiveness!

Thanks! The latter seems to be useful info for some experienced developer (i.e. not me). I have one more suggestion, though, before someone else looks at it: When having selected GNOME on the login screen, try to enter a guest session instead of your regular account, and let us know if that succeeds. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1613430 Title: lightdm not showing gnome desktop option To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1613430/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

That gets me a little closer... I am able to select Gnome but when logging in it dumps me right back out to the login screen.

Paul's recommendation is a good one. On 2016-08-15 22:23, Launchpad Bug Tracker wrote: > When I click on the ubuntu logo to the right of my login ... That sounds like unity-greeter.
