Some more details GDM succesfully launches and prompts for login as expected, the bug happens after login trying to bring up the desktop, which never successfully happens. Virtually consoles can be switched too, and used but the desktop never properly recovers (or even falls back to gdm) without killing it.
The gnome 2 desktop does start successfully, switching back to unity results in the same failure. It occurrs on both the 2.6.38-7 and 2.6.38-8 kernels both of which were working with unity on Friday (8-4-2011). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/757043 Title: Segfault reported by compiz -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
