I can confirm that using the up-down arrow keys at the login prompt (while unity-greeter is continually crashing and restarting) to try to cycle between usual user, another user and the guest session will eventually cause the unity-greeter to stop crashing, and allow the user to log in as usual with any of the users.
After logging out normally, the cycle of crash-restart of unity-greeter continues, but can be recovered as detailed above. Replacing the usual user with a blank home directory (with correct permissions) makes no difference. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/969589 Title: unity-greeter continually crashing and restarting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-greeter/+bug/969589/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
