The problem, it seems was with lightdm. I still don't know what happened, but purging and reinstalling lightdm magically helped!

All of a sudden, Unity does not start when logging in. I have only a desktop, no dash, no panels, nothing else. The problem is limited to one user account.

Doing ctrl-alt-F1, and running export...

....unfortunately the above fix only worked for one session. Still at the same spot as I was this morning... :-/

Solved it:

Log in and open a terminal (ctrl-alt-F1). If that is not possible from your user account, do it from a guest account, and replace DISPLAY=:0 with DISPLAY=:1 below-


sudo apt-get...

It looks ok; I am the owner, and I can read and write: `drwxr-xr-x`

Thanks, I should have mentioned that I tried that, but with no effect.

All of a sudden, when I log in to Ubuntu 14.04, I have no top menu bar, no launcher, no dash, only my desktop. Logging in as guest works fine.

Don't know if it's relevant, but if I log in as...

I am trying to install Ubuntu 12.10 from a USB to an Asus Zenbook Prime UX31A, but after selecting language and clicking ”next”, nothing happens. Not that it hangs or anything, I can still access the...

For anyone else with this problem: Through another forum I found out that the program lvm2 was removed during upgrade to 11.04. Running
sudo apt-get install lvm2 solved the problem.

I now tried Palimpsest, which, run as root, gives me a new error message when trying to start the volume: ”Failed to execute child process "lvchange" (No such file or directory)”. Does this make...

Hello, since upgrading to 11.04 I can no longer access one of my hard drives. It has a volume group with two volumes, which I can see in Disk Utility (2.32.1). Trying to start them from there gives...

I have what might be the same problem. No panels at all. In fact, logging in to Unity doesn't even give me a desktop, just the background from the login screen. Pressing <ctrl> <alt>-<backspace> the...

I have the same problem, for every user, and for every FF / Swiftfox installation on my Ubuntu Netbook edition 10.10. No plugins / extensions. Creating a new FF profiles sometimes seem to solve the...

Thank you lidex! It turned out that it was ~/.asoundrc.asoundconf that caused all the problems. After removing that file everything works smoothly again!

...and this is gnome-volume-control, where I would expect two cards two show up: http://ubuntuone.com/p/6AP/

Here is yet another no sound thread... For some reason Pulseaudio seems not to discover one of my sound cards (card 1 below. Card 0 works fine, but card 1 does not turn up in the gnome-volume-control...

That seems to be exactly what I'm looking for, except that it won't work with Ubuntu 10.04....

I've been looking for this too. I can use e.g. amixer from the command line to change volume etc of my devices, but how to I tell gnome which device to use?

My GUI freezes, then tells me "Could not donwload the release notes, please check internet connection", or something like that. Could it just be that the ubuntu servers are overloaded atm?

Thank you, that solved it for me on a Fedora system as well. Really annoying thing.

Thanks for taking your time helping!

The wlan0 interface does actually show up in both cases, but it refuses to connect (and doesn't find any networks)
