When I boot up, I see the x-windows where I can enter my login, then it gives me a blank desktop background where I see a mouse pointer and nothing else. I can switch to a TTY.
I get these errors on Ubuntu 15.10 and 16.04
$ cat ~/.xsession-errors
openConnection: connect: No such file or directory
cannot connect to brltty at :0
upstart: Failed to spawn upstart-udev-bridge main process: unable to execute: No such file or directory
upstart: unity-gtk-module pre-start process (1418) terminated with status 127
upstart: dbus pre-start process (1425) terminated with status 127
Any suggestions on what I could do?
/etc/environment
file and had this issue. The problem was that thePATH
variable no longer could see theupstart-udev-bridge
command because it is in/sbin
. Replacing the line:PATH=$PATH:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
at the top of that file fixed my issue.
