At the moment I am using xubuntu desktop. I also have unity environment but I just a blank screen when I log into it. I have tried reinstalling unity desktop. I think I have messed with CCSM & this has broken unity. Now I don't know what to do? Thanks for any kind of help Sent on my BlackBerry® from Vodafone

You can reset unity easily by logging into another console (ctrl-alt f1) and typing the following: DISPLAY=$DISPLAY:0 export DISPLAY unity --reset then switch back (ctrl-alt f7). It might take a minute for the reset to complete. Hopefully that should work. -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/963633 Title: Unity 5.8: Login to blank screen (all black or just wallpaper) Status in Compiz: Won't Fix Status in Compiz Core: Fix Released Status in Unity Distro Priority: Fix Released Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “compiz” source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in “unity” source package in Precise: Invalid Bug description: WORKAROUND/FIX: unity --reset TEST CASE: Edit ~/.gconf/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/%gconf.xml and add an entry AFTER composite and BEFORE opengl for a dummy plugin name that does not exist. Log out and in again. ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: After the update earlier today to Unity 5.8, I've found that when I try logging into Unity 3D, all I get is a solid black screen and my mouse cursor. I know it loaded some sort of desktop though, since I could still hit Ctrl+Alt+T and blindly type `sudo reboot` followed by my password to make my computer do a normal reboot. I do not get the same problem with GNOME Shell or Unity 2D (the latter of which I'm using now to report this bug), although for both the screen does temporarily turn black but only for a moment. Unity 5.6 3D used to work perfectly fine for me.
