After upgrading to 9.04, my computer cannot login. I DID get into the Gnome login screen but once I typed in my credentials and hit Enter, there were ugly vertical lines and after a few seconds I get kicked out back to the login screen.
After intensive Googling, I was able to log in by apt-get remove compiz compiz-core. I tried reinstall, complete remove and install of compiz but it didn't work. The problem stuck.
It appeared to me after upgrading, I have lost my hardware graphics acceleration. I figured this might be the reason, and this is what compiz-check and glxinfo told me:
