2016-09-25 14:37:14 Timo Jyrinki description My yakkety installation is now for some reason in shape that lightdm only starts with a black screen, although mouse cursor is shown and movable and "wifi networks available" popup is shown at the top right corner. I've tried reinstalling and everything I can think of, but I can't fix it. Meanwhile using sddm I can't log in to Unity 7 or 8, and gdm doesn't start at all. I couldn't also use ubuntu-bug since I can't use the browser interface from command line (otherwise it works fine until that point) and it segfaults under Plasma environment while collecting information. My yakkety installation is now for some reason in shape that lightdm only starts with a black screen, although mouse cursor is shown and movable and "wifi networks available" popup is shown at the top right corner. After some while this disappears and the system goes to some sort of tty switching loop where sometimes text cursor is shown and sometimes just blank screen. If I want to recover text console control of machine I need to quickly after booting switch to tty1 and stop lightdm. This started happening last week after some upgrades and a reboot.

So I'm using sddm + Plasma now but would like to be also be able to run Unity 7 and Unity 8.
