Thanks, but the required info is still missing. The critical file from 15 October unity-system-compositor.log is zero bytes, and your unity8 logs have not been touched since 5 October. So it sounds like unity-system-compositor.log will hold the answer. Please try copying it again as root (sudo).

After entering my password the login screen just sort of hangs; I'm left with the login GUI (which is frozen) and the top panel (which I can use) to display the suspend / restart options. I left it running for quite a while, but nothing happened. I can log in to the default environment easily. I'm running a System 76 Meerkat, having upgraded from Ubuntu 16.04 without wiping my system drive. --- ApportVersion: 2.20.3-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.10 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-10-01 (18 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160719) Package: unity8 8.14+16.10.20160922-0ubuntu2 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.8.0-22.24-generic 4.8.0 Tags: third-party-packages yakkety Uname: Linux 4.8.0-22-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to yakkety on 2016-10-13 (6 days ago) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo _MarkForUpload: True To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1633390/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
