[Hardy] [Regression] after login only a mouse is shown on a black screen (amd64)

I can confirm this. I am not sure now which packages causes it but it is not an only compiz problem since it appears with the vesa driver too. I am going to test another desktop like fluxbox or something like that. I guess it has something to do with the gnome-settings-daemon or the panel.

Linux computer 2.6.24-12-generic #1 SMP Wed Mar 12 22:31:43 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8800 GTS 512 (rev a2)

Btw. it doesn't happen on my Hardy 32 Bit platform with Intel graphich that's why I have waited so long to report it.

Another problem is gdm. I have moved the user direcotory and created a new one with write support but after this gdm doesn't login with this user. It just changes the password field back to username field. I guess I have to find/create another bug report for this but I guess it is worth mentioning.
Btw. the same behavior happens with a newly created user.

Because of the date of the update: Maybe you're seeing the effects of Bug #201673? Did your update include a libc6 one?

I guess I have found the problem. Through a upgrading issue I guess some gnome packages were removed.
Could you please recheck if install the package ubuntu-desktop helps?

I'll try reinstalling ubuntu-desktop package and i'll tell you. I have tried using https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201673 and nothing happened.

I have reinstall ubuntu-desktop (sudo aptitude reinstall ubuntu-destop), then sudo apt-get update and sudo reboot and the only thing that changed was the color of the screen that has changed to brown but I can't see the desktop and I can't work with ubuntu.
I am really thinking in reinstalling the previous stable release which is Ubuntu 7.10.

It seems to be a different issue but could you please try these commands?

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Then reboot and maybe you are lucky. Otherwise I would change the driver to vesa and restart X.
Please don't forget that Hardy is an alpha version.

Thank you very much!!!. It works again!!!.
I can't change monitor resolution set in 1152x864, but I can see desktop and all the aplications.
Thank you.

Now I have 1280x1024. It was a problem of the controler. Trying to get gl desktop working the problem was solved after rebooting.
Thank you very much!!!.

I am closing this bug according to user comment.
