Extremely frustrating. I had updated to Trusty 14.04 , and upgraded the linux kernel to 3.13.0.77-lowlatency
After 2 days of searching on the internet, and all suggested fixes failed, I finally compared line for line the ownership and permissions of .config/dconf in the home directory of one user (emil) where this annoying behavior did not occur with the corresponding .config/dconf of the second user (sharon) where the immediate logout after login behavior occurred with gnome classic desktop (either compiz or metacity). I moved sharon's dconf directory out of .config renaming it dconf.old Then I copied all of user emil's dconf to user sharon and meticuously did sudo chown and sudo chmod on the new .config/dconf in sharon's home directory making sure all the ownership and permissions were identical for this user as they were for the first one. Then I rebooted. That did the trick. Of course, user sharon lost her personalized gnome window settings which were replaced by those of user emil, but these can be recustomized without problem. This seems to me a fairly drastic and unusual step to have to take on a distribution upgrade. I have found no other solution, so I consider this a bug I hope someone will look into. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1228567 Title: at-spi2 daemon error messages in .xsession-errors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/at-spi2-core/+bug/1228567/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
