I have tried the following without success: - chown maroual:maroual .Xauthority (as it was owned by root) - rm .Xauthority and then reboot - I have verified that the umask and owner of /tmp and /home/maroual were correct - sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm - sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop - apt-get update then upgrade then autoremove then check - inspected the following files and logs: .xsession-errors /var/log/Xorg.0.log /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old /var/log/lightdm/seat0-greeter.log /var/log/lightdm/x-0.log /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log journalctl -u lightdm systemctl status lightdm.service dmesg sudo service lightdm restart just allows me restoring the login screen after a failed attempt Thanks for your help -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1753233 Title: Task bar and launchpad are missing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1753233/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
