yes

uninstall compiz

flip the login into safe mode then apt-get remove compiz

or you can use control-alt f1 to get to a terminal session then remove it

Subject: [Bug 188660] Re: live CD loops between login and desktop on
ATIXpress cards - compiz crashes Xorg

Does anyone know of a work around for this issue using the Live CD? The
issue description says:

Workaround: Uninstall compiz-core which won't work on these cards
anyway.

Anyone have some insight on how to get this to work?

Status in “xorg” source package in Ubuntu: Triaged

Bug description:
I downloaded the Hardy Heron alpha 4 CD and tried booting it,
choosing the default "Start or install Ubuntu" option.

The CD boots fine up to the login screen, which says "User ubuntu will
login in 10 seconds" and does the 10-second countdown. Then the
desktop background appears, the menubars at the top and bottom
of the screen briefly appear (but with a smaller font than usual), and
then I'm thrown back to the login screen and the 10-second
countdown starts anew. This repeats ad infinitum.

This is the same hardware configuration as in #138084: an MSI
RS482M4 motherboard with the VGA output of the on-board graphics
connected to an iiyama ProLite E380s 1024x768 LCD display.

The machine boots 7.04 without problem.

Workaround: Uninstall compiz-core which won't work on these cards anyway.
