Troubleshooting led me to look at .xsession-errors which pointed at upstart. Attempt to use upstart-udev-bridge on it's on and it says: upstart-udev-bridge: Could not connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused Systemd is the default and works like it is supposed to. I removed upstart and I can login again. However, that removes unity, ubuntu- desktop and a whole host of other useful things. It would be nice if I could have a solution to the login issues but I would settle for a general purge of upstart from every package. tail .xsession-errors openConnection: connect: No such file or directory cannot connect to brltty at :0 upstart: Failed to spawn upstart-udev-bridge main process: unable to execute: No such file or directory upstart: unity-gtk-module pre-start process (2523) terminated with status 127 upstart: dbus pre-start process (2534) terminated with status 127 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.10 Package: upstart 1.13.2-0ubuntu16 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.2.0-25.30-generic 4.2.6 Uname: Linux 4.2.0-25-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.19.1-0ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sun Jan 24 20:06:25 2016 InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-05-10 (260 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Server 15.04 "Vivid Vervet" - Release amd64 (20150422) ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: upstart UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to wily on 2015-10-26 (90 days ago) UpstartBugCategory: Session UpstartRunningSessionCount: 2 UpstartRunningSystemVersion: Error: command ['initctl', '--system', 'version'] failed with exit code 1: initctl: Name "com.ubuntu.Upstart" does not exist upstart.upstart-dbus-session-bridge.log: upstart-dbus-bridge: Unable to write pid file: No such file or directory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/1537610/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
