gnome-session was aborting if acceleration check failed. This bug was about fixing it so it is possible to bypass this check. Bypassing this check allows gnome-session to start.
You need to use session that does not require hardware acceleration, but from you comment - you are using. As Ryan already told - you need to get and paste log file to find why session does not fully start. lightdm and other display manager are setting environment variables - this might be your problem. One thing you could try is to add this line before /usr/bin/gnome-session line: export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP="Unity" Then you will need also this line: export XDG_MENU_PREFIX="gnome-flashback-" Also you could add --debug to gnome-session line as it might show some info why needed components are not started. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1251281 Title: gnome-session-flashback/Unity fails to start without hardware acceleration in cloud/remote environments (Forwarded-X/XRDP/VNC/NX/X2GO/Chromoting) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-session/+bug/1251281/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
