As i also reported a bugreport about booting ubuntu without unity-panel and or black screen. In my search to get a workaround for this i found out that a reset of compiz and unity brought back a normal desktop. While an update of gnome or unity panel or ccsm with to much comflicting settings scambled the settings for compiz and unity. To do a unity and compiz reset i did the following: (regards to webupd8 website http://www.webupd8.org/2011/12/unity-3d-launcher-top-panel-doesnt- load.html)..
boot up, press CTRL-ALT-F1 and login. To reset all the Compiz settings (this includes all the plugins settings, etc.) to the default values, open a terminal (don't run it with ALT + F2! The top panel and launcher will disappear after running the first command but will show up after the second one so use a terminal) and type: export DISPLAY=:0.0 gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz-1 gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compizconfig-1 unity --reset now log out and login again and unity is back. ..I hope this will give some help.. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/962892 Title: Xorg crashed with SIGABRT in __assert_fail_base() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/962892/+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
