apport information ** Tags added: apport-collected focal third-party-packages ubuntu
** Description changed: My system has been upgraded through several Ubuntu versions, and I'm now (15 Feb 2020) on a pre-release version of Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal Fossa). I've been using Unity on this system since Ubuntu's installation years ago, and it's worked fine, including when I first installed the pre- release Ubuntu 20.04 a week or two ago. I updated packages on 13 Feb or 14 Feb, however. Now, when I log in, I get nothing but a blank screen -- no window manager or desktop environment appears to be running. I'm able to open a Terminal by right-clicking on the (black) desktop and selecting "run from Terminal" from the list of options, and I can then start icewm -- but I need to use the "--replace" option because icewm thinks a window manager IS running, even though the windows have no widgets or other ways to control them. (I've been using X since pre- Linux days, so I know what X without a window manager looks like, and to all appearances, this is it.) $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu Focal Fossa (development branch) Release: 20.04 $ apt-cache show ubuntu-unity-desktop | grep Version Version: 0.2 $ apt-cache show unity | grep Version Version: 7.5.0+20.04.20200211-0ubuntu1 + --- + ProblemType: Bug + .tmp.unity_support_test.0: + + ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu16 + Architecture: amd64 + CompositorRunning: None + CurrentDesktop: XFCE + DistUpgraded: Fresh install + DistroCodename: focal + DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 + DistroVariant: ubuntu + DkmsStatus: + fwts-efi-runtime-dkms, 20.01.00, 5.4.0-12-generic, x86_64: installed (WARNING!
