Thanks for reporting. Please modify /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99upstart as mentioned on irc and change the STARTUP variable to:
STARTUP="upstart --user --debug 1>&2" Then, logout and: - login via console - rm ~/.xsession-errors - login graphically - attach .xsession-errors It doesn't appear that there is an issue with Upstart itself here but the .xsession-errors should give us further details. What would be interesting to know is whether the graphical session experience is correct for a different / newly-created user on your system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1365535 Title: Desktop fails to start properly after 14.04 > 14.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/1365535/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
