Bug Description
With the current 3.7.0-2-generic #8-Ubuntu SMP & also the mainline 3.7.0-030700rc6 both unity & gnome-shell fail to start.
The greeter screen comes up fine then goes to just the background with a cursor. No actions are possible inc. going to a VT.
After a period of time system logs back out to the greeter. (or a totally corrupted greeter
A Classic (no effects) session loads fine, am filing bug from that
Installing nvidia-* & 3d sessions work fine
3d sessions also worked fine with nouveau with the previous 3.7.0.0 kernel
On todays current live image the same is seen, attempting "Try Me" goes to a blank background image with a cursor, nothing can be done at that point
Quite possibly related to this reported kernel bug
