Thanks, the issue is due to the DESKTOP_SESSION -> XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP change. kdm exports the first variable but not the second one, it makes the upstart job bail out on "Unknown parameter: XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP"
We either need to revert to use DESKTOP_SESSION back or to fix kdm (and potential other dms) to set XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP Dimitri, Dmitry, Tim, you are the ones that worked on those changes, is any of you wanting to look at changing kdm or should we just revert that update? ** Changed in: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1293629 Title: [Regression] [Trusty] Unity can't be started from kdm To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1293629/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
