As Christopher M. Penalver requested, I filed a new bug report as bug #1259423 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer-updates in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1069199 Title: 1002:682f Unity does not start after installing fglrx-updates Radeon HD 7700M Series Status in AMD fglrx video driver: Confirmed Status in “fglrx-installer-updates” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After installing ATI proprietary drivers for my Radeon video card, Unity doesn't start anymore. LightDM shows up, and I'm able to log in, but Unity doesn't load. Obs: The same occurs when installing fglrx package (if I choose it, instead of fglrx-updates). Potential duplicate of bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source /xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1068404 . WORKAROUND: Removing the package fixes the problem, getting back to the opensource driver (ati).
