Sorry it took so long for me to respond, I've been super busy with work and just ignored this as an irritation.
It does indeed happen with every/any program I add in the "Startup Applications" dialogue box; things I've tried are google-chrome, nautilus, gnome-terminal, yakuake. Interestingly, the black screen happened even with yakuake as the only startup program, despite me not having yakuake installed. With everything disabled in Startup Applications, the system boots normally as expected, I get to the desktop without having to press any buttons. This black login screen is only happening from a cold boot (shutdown or restart). Suspend works fine, and I don't have a swap partition so Hibernate isn't an option. Interestingly, when on the black screen, if I press keyboard letters I get garbled strings appearing on the black screen in the top left hand corner. Also, I can move the mouse around on this screen, but there isn't anything to click. The only thing which gets me out of this screen is pressing enter, and when I do so I hear the standard "password incorrect" sound, then the normal login screen appears. I'm guessing this is something to do with the auto-login feature, but I'm not sure what other information I can give to assist in debugging. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1041404 Title: Startup application(s) stop unity from loading To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1041404/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
