mei_me connect/disconnect timeout

**atomicspin** · October 27th, 2013

I just upgraded to 13.10 and, once I login, the wallpaper just comes up and stays there, no menu, desktop items, etc.

When I go in to terminal, I get "mei_me (bunch of numbers): reset: connect/disconnect timeout."

Any ideas?

Try

ctrl+alt+f1 to open a virtual console
Then

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm stop

Then

Code:

rm -R ~/.cache/sessions/

Reboot

Did this and it still shows the same thing after reboot.

Also, when I'm logging in to the GUI, after login, it just sits at the wallpaper screen. Nothing else. Related?

Can you post the content of this?

Code:

cat ~/.xsession-errors

Here goes:

: connect to britty at :0
: for cjkv started at run_im.
: for default started at run_im.

Also, the commands you gave me did stop the ongoing error message. Now it just sticks after I type in the password at the login screen. Stays on the wallpaper forever.

Thank you!

In fact you have 2 problems (I don't know if they are related):
(1) with the mei-me connect/disconnect (that I have also - and I am looking to solve it)
(2) Freeze desktop - related to Video drivers/Compiz etc -- you can find the solution here

Try to solve first (2). I succeced and now I am looking solving (1)
