Hi,
after yesterday update, I can log us user but start-up stop with plain wallpaper. I can not start any program and no keyboard shortcut work. When I log on as guest account all is well. What's going on ? What I can do with it ? It's accept the password but start up freeze on plain wallpaper. But the computer do not freeze as I can use mouse.
Please help.
I have Xubuntu 14.04 with kernel 100. I tried to start with older kernel 98, but it didn't helped.

Maybe the problem is with the hidden "dot" files (ones whose first character is a . ). The guest account starts with none of them, and so works. Try logging into a virtual terminal (ctrl-alt-F2) (F1 through F6 should work, with F7 being the graphical interface). Then rename (or just delete) the .Xauthority file and .cache directory and see now your login gets to a full desktop.
