Thanks for your suggestion. I removed the most recent sessions (since the date it went wrong) and so now when I log it, it must have gone to the previous session, which means all back to normal and working okay.

When I saw compositing, I just mean the window decorations, title bar, etc.

Hardware is powerful enough and it all worked previously. This is not a hardware problem. It works with logging in as a Guest. It is no doubt a problem with my user account.


I have had similar problems in xfce with missing window decorations and title bars. My problem was a corrupted session which started at login. Solution was quite simple:

$ sudo rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions/*
$ sudo reboot

    I am using Ubuntu Studio 14.04, and it has been kept up to date,

    title bars or other window decorations, no programs showing on the
    panel. Then all windows disappear along with the panel, leaving me
    just the desktop and its icons.

    I can right click to get a menu, and tried going to the system
    settings, but clicking on Window Manager did nothing.

    I can still run Linux Mint on the same PC (which I am doing now to
    use Thunderbird) but my Ubuntu Studio is broken.

How can I fix this? What configuration needs to be checked or changed?

Since you mentioned compositing. Are you using compositing? If so, does your hardware support compositing in Linux?
