[13:27] <Zephyr1139> Has anyone else ever encountered an empty desktop with just a mouse cursor after an install of ubuntu 14.04?
[13:28] <jasonjang> it's my case, a few Hrs ago.
[17:43] <joey> jasonjang: yes
[17:43] <joey> jasonjang: it happens a lot when you upgrade using parallels
[17:44] <joey> there are a few different ways to fix it... it depends on if you are using parallels or not
[17:44] <joey> if so, change /etc/X11/xorg.conf back to the default
[17:45] <joey> if not, first try nuking xorg.conf (by backing it up)  if that doesn't work your gconf settings in your home directory are corrupt
[17:45] <joey> you will probably have to nuke .cache and .gnome*
[17:45] <jasonjang> ok, THX 2 much.
[17:45] <jasonjang> ok, THX 2 much.  joey  ^^
[17:45] <joey> oh and .compiz*
[17:46] <joey> the xorg.org with parallels is a parallels issue, not ubuntu
[17:46] <joey> the others are problems with the way compiz and gnome work
[17:55] <joey> apparently 14.10 has had some issues.  http://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-14-10-breakage-breakage-everywhere/1914/11?u=joey
