Thread: Unity doesn't start on login

-

ok, i've searched around, none of topics i've seen suit case, here goes:
use unity, , have done since natty. time has been malfunctioning, in way when log in in normal way, no tricks in session, starting through default way, doesn't show unity or window manager/compiz. windows start without border, , see nautilus' menu on top. keyboard focus broken, , yeah.
know can't problem hardware performance, , know it's not direct incompatibility since can start through workaround. (ssh+export display or add startup entries)
these seem add lot of unnecessary loading time. quite time, wallpaper shows, , have wait usual startup entries running before unity pops up. (gnome shell pops in 2 seconds after hitting enter, comparison.)
first command attempts regular syntax:
code:
gnome-session --session=ubuntu
this 1 doesn't seem work in case, clear screen. guess can't make start "unity" command? (it won't show in menu if use first one.)

i've been wondering if should make xinit.rc file unity put in separate entry. (of course)

i'll post debug information running "gnome-session --session=ubuntu" later.

useful know:
got 1 of latest fglrx drivers, built amd's site. (don't worry, made .deb package ubuntu. it's set , neatly.)
ask more information if needed.

current workaround:
code:
#!/usr/bin/env bash  unity &  gnome-session --session=ubuntu
this works currently, neither safe or compatible future changes.
output of gnome-session command, did couple of hints. first unity doesn't seem in procedure @ all, it's not started it. script above make login faster , keeps desktop intact (none of ugly icons show), again, need better solution more future-proof.

how devide circle equal parts reggie,   depending on version, may able use free divide (length) script available here, setting number,   http://park12.wakwak.com/~shp/lc/et/en_aics_script.html   or may (smart guides friends):   1) use polar grid tool right size of circle, 0 concentric dividers , desired number of radial dividers, , ungroup; 2) extend radial dividers; 3) select circle , use scissors tool @ intersections (smart guides intersect ), may need select remaining parts underway.   or may (smart guides friends):   1) create vertical line through top , bottom (or left , right) anchor points line tool; 2) rotate copies @ relevant angles (to half number of cuts division); 3) select circle , use scissors tool @ intersections (smart guides intersect ), may need select remaining parts underway.
