Bug Description
My GeForce 8600M GT is apparently unsupported (really? nouveau isn't good enough?). When I tried to install UNE, it logged into a unity session, but just gave me the "your video card won't work with unity, please use the desktop session" and then logged me out, bringing me to the GDM screen.
But since I never set up users, I don't know how to log into the desktop session! So UNE is entirely uninstallable on this machine.
Not sure this is the right place for the bug, please move wherever you like.
