Hi. This is my first post here.):P
Turns out that after a recent update my Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS the Unity desktop disappeared at login. I've tried all possible solutions, like completely purging and reinstalling unity-desktop along with compiz-manager, resetting compiz to default, clearing programs cache, creating a new user in order to try login into a new environment, etc. I've reinstalled ligtdm, configured and reinstalled ccsm with Unity Plugin enabled, tried dconf reset. Nothing worked for me. At the moment I'm using Gnome (Metacity) as I had no success loading Unity again. Besides, I've tried to completely remove/reinstall fglrx video drivers which didn't worked for me either. I am kind of disappointed:icon_frown: and frustrated](*,) with all this situation but until now it's seems to remain without any solution. The failure applies to any user including Guest. Unity just don't want to load.
Other error #-othat appeared with this update is that Shutter at login starts to show a lot of error messages similar to the following (valid only for SVG files, but for now this problem is not critical to me):
"There was an error opening the image.
Error while opening image 'executable.svg'.
Could not recongize the image file format for file
/usr/share/shutter/resources/icons/executable.svg
"
libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 and librsvg2-2 were reinstalled and the "loaders.cache" was regenerated and contains svg same as svg library is in "loaders" folder
Any help, ideas, solutions will be greatly appreciated!
