Public bug reported:
I installed Gnome 3.16 from the gnome-staging PPA on my Ubuntu 15.04
(previously updated from 14.04), but I am unable to log into the Gnome
desktop, both on a cold boot or after logging out from Unity.
What I expect to happen:
Selecting gdm as the default dekstop manager takes me to the Gnome greeter when
starting my machine.
If lightdm is selected, I am able to log into Gnome by choosing the appropriate
session at the Unity greeter.
What actually happened:
With gdm selected, the system boots to a black screen with only the mouse
cursor showing. It is not frozen (I can move the mouse and switch to TTY), but
no other GUI element loads.
With lightdm selected, I am able to log into Unity, but if I choose Gnome I get
a black screen for a couple of seconds after typing my password, then I'm back
at the login screen.
I have tried the following suggestions I found online, but to no avail:
- remove nvidia-* packages
- remove the .Xauthority file
- manually restart gdm/lightdm
- manually stop gdm then run startx
- do a dist-upgrade
The only potentially useful log info I can find is in
/var/log/gdm/(null)-greeter.log:
