Ok, looks like I found a solution. For my situation at least. Hopefully it will work for others also. I noticed that unity-2d had disappeared from my session options, and my graphics card will only run unity-2d (if I select "unity" it will normally log me in still, but to the 2d desktop). After noticing that, I went to recovery console and ran:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure unity-2d It gave me an error about the package being broken. Getting closer. I then ran these two commands to purge and re-install unity-2d and it also installed some other dependencies that were missing. sudo dpkg -P unity-2d sudo apt-get install unity-2d So everyone try that, if you were running the 3d version previously it probably will not help, but with both versions of unity sharing more and more code, it is worth a try. Either way, this bug still needs to be unmarked as a duplicate, it has nothing to do with that other bug, and that is misleading. ** Also affects: unity-2d Importance: Undecided Status: New ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 807306 [oneiric] Keyboard & mouse not working in X - incomplete migration to /run -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/808654 Title: Failed to load session "ubuntu" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/udev/+bug/808654/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
