Hey everyone,

I'm not new to Ubuntu, but I'm not a power-user exactly. I upgraded from 14.04.1 to 18.04 (bad idea). As of now, I cannot login to any DE except plain Gnome, the rest all just go back to login. Also, I have to boot using the previous kernel or the system won't boot.

I have tried removing .Xauthority, moving .config and .local, reinstalling the DEs. Nothing has worked. And it seems every time I do login, it gives me initial setup dialog or whatever, but my settings seem intact. I haven't been able to find anything in logs. Display manager logs are either empty or plain don't exist.

Do you still have upstart package installed?

If so:


sudo apt remove upstart --purge
