Will do so - but to update - took a little persistence or just happenstance but finally in a ubuntu session with current lightdm
gist of it is - tried the gtk-greeter to see if any difference, none, switched back to the unity-greeter So went to a vt, installed gnome-shell, tried a login which worked. Then tried a ubuntu login, this time got to a Desktop but no compiz/unity, tried a couple of times, same thing, xsession error about compiz 'crashing too quickly' Tried unity-2d, this time it worked Went back to a ubuntu session & it loaded without incident. So I'm going to guess that on this install I'll now get past the greeter to a Desktop, though i'd figure compiz may 'crash' some of the time, will not the rest (no .crash is created Will give it a few tests though could be more useful to do a fresh install & see if this is an accumulated behavior or the current state -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/944736 Title: Fails to load any session To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/944736/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
