Since yesterday my window managers don't load completely. There are no window controls or any panels visible. Cinnamon for examplem goes straight to fallback mode; Unity doesn't throw an error but has no panels as well. Programms, even with gui, work if I open them from the terminal.

Here is my .xsession-errors file content as I have the feeling it could have something to do with this: http://pastebin.com/wh4pmcPe

Do you have any idea what could help?

I already tried:

  1. switch to nvidia-355 driver (instead of 358)
  2. write a new xconfig-file (had this issue before)
  3. reinstall the kernel 4.2.0-22
  4. boot using kernel 4.2.0-21
  5. fix broken packages with "apt-get -f install", nothing found
  6. apt-get install --reinstall xorg

I have no idea what to try next. My try probably would be to reinstall Ubuntu after a backup.

New testing results: this has to do with my user account!

I created a new user and everything is working fine if I log in with this new account. What could cause this issue in my settings? What could I delete to force new configurations?

Thank you in advance! Have a nice New Year's Eve and a lucky 2016!

After fiddling around for some hours I got tired of searching which config was the problem (as the other user worked fine) and just backed up my old home directory by renaming it, creating a new one instead - reboot and done. A fresh start where I took from my old folder just the configurations I needed for some applications.
