Ultimate Edition 5.0 LTS
4.4.0-34-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP x86_64
Nvidia 361.42 Dual monitors (Xinerama)
Not having any luck with reported working solutions that others have posted in Ubuntu forums etc. I am wondering if there is something specific to Ultimate Edition that I ended up breaking.
Trouble shooting steps so far:
Tried as root and another user - same treatment.
- Code: Select all
sudo chown -R user.user /home/user
chmod ug+x /home/user/.Xauthority
sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-session
sudo apt-get purge lightdm ; sudo apt-get install lightdm -y
lightdm reconfigure
dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
apt-get purge lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter mate-core mate-desktop-environment mate-notification-daemon;apt-get install lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter mate-core mate-desktop-environment mate-notification-daemon
Reinstalled Mate packages via Synaptic.
Removed compiz and attempted clean up of left over items.
Switched from lightdm to gdm and had to revert as gdm wouldn't load: "A start job is running for Hold until boot process finishes up..." let it run over 10min. and decided that was long enough.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks
