No unity (3D) interface at unity session start

[Le Gluon Du Net]

Unity interface does not launch anymore, I have just my icon on my desktop, thanks for your help.
I can reproduce this bug each time I'm logging in the unity 3D session, the 2D session works right.

Thanks for your help.

Thank you for your bug report, could you log in, get the bug, stay in state and go to vt1 (ctrl-alt-f1), copy .xsession-errors somewhere and add it to the bug?

[cuby (cuby)]

Here it is my .xsession-errors, as asked.
I originally reported bug #988078

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

seems like your compiz profile is broken, does running "unity --reset" fixes it?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

from bug #988079

"CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins'"

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the bug report here has the same issue...

[cuby (cuby)]

"unity --reset" doesn't finish. Stops at the gtk-window-decorator.
Still not working.
In ccsm unity plugin is active.

[Le Gluon Du Net (legluondunet)]

In fact, I launched ccsm and every modules was unchecked. i checked unity and other compiz modules and now unity launch at session start. But I don't understand why compiz lost his config?
