You have been subscribed to a public bug: I run Ubuntu desktop 15.10 in a Oracle VirtualBox VM. After updating the kernel to 4.2.0-36 Unity stopped working (after the restart). The symptoms were: - The screen would not use the entire real estate in either the full screen or the windowed mode (of the VM) - On entering login information, only the desktop background would display without dash/launcher, files on desktop or any menu or keyboard action. - If you started / restarted unity from a shell (Ctrl + Shift + F1 or from a SSH session), the desktop files and mouse/keyboard actions would work, but still no dash/launcher.
The problems went away after falling back to kernel 4.2.0-35. If additional information is required, please let me know I will try my best to get that. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: bot-comment wily -- kernel 4.2.0-36 causes unity to break on 15.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1580434 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
