I just tried a few times, but I can't seem to reproduce this bug. Perhaps the bug report should be closed until it happens again.
Happy to provide more info or try different things if you like though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/871112 Title: created a new user account and cannot log in to unity 3d anymore Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I created a new user account in the normal, GUI way. I then attempted to log into this user account, but it didn't work. I got a terminal sort of screen briefly (the one you get if you hit F6 during bootup) and then it just went back to the log in screen. I attempted to log in with my account, and it did log in, but Unity did not load. I just had my wallpaper, with a "File Edit View" etc bar at the top. I could open a terminal with ctrl+alt+T to fire up ubuntu-bug and chrome to file this bug. Logging into Ubuntu 2d seems to work but not a normal "Ubuntu" session.
