Public bug reported: I installed Gnome 3.16 from the gnome-staging PPA on my Ubuntu 15.04 (previously updated from 14.04), but I am unable to log into the Gnome desktop, both on a cold boot or after logging out from Unity.
What I expect to happen: Selecting gdm as the default dekstop manager takes me to the Gnome greeter when starting my machine. If lightdm is selected, I am able to log into Gnome by choosing the appropriate session at the Unity greeter. What actually happened: With gdm selected, the system boots to a black screen with only the mouse cursor showing. It is not frozen (I can move the mouse and switch to TTY), but no other GUI element loads. With lightdm selected, I am able to log into Unity, but if I choose Gnome I get a black screen for a couple of seconds after typing my password, then I'm back at the login screen. I have tried the following suggestions I found online, but to no avail: - remove nvidia-* packages - remove the .Xauthority file - manually restart gdm/lightdm - manually stop gdm then run startx - do a dist-upgrade The only potentially useful log info I can find is in /var/log/gdm/(null)-greeter.log: (WW) xf86CloseConsole: KDSETMODE failed: Input/output error (WW) xf86CloseConsole: VT_GETMODE failed: Input/output error (EE) Fatal server error: (EE) xf86CloseConsole: VT_ACTIVATE failed: Input/output error (EE) (EE) Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support at http://wiki.x.org for help.
