If Unity is running it's being very shy. I have the same problem on a different machine using a VM cloned from this one several weeks ago. A VM with a fresh install of 16.04 LTS works fine with the new packages for me, so perhaps this is a unique configuration issue. However, other than experimenting with launcher placement and turning low graphics on/off I haven't tweaked Unity settings to my recollection. I've noticed that CCSM when run from console (DISPLAY=:0 ccsm &) appears to hang at "Loading icons...", which may point in the right direction.
I have Hyper-V checkpoints immediately before and after installing the packages that break things for me, so I should be able to investigate any before/after question that might help. To answer your specific questions, there are no dumps in /var/crash. I've attached before (working) and after (non-working) unity7 logs. I've generated them by restarting the VM from the aforementioned states and logging on, so the times in the logs might look inconsistent. ** Attachment added: "unity7.before.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1604657/+attachment/4704149/+files/unity7.before.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1604657 Title: [Regression] Unity shows blank desktop with software renderer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1604657/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
