I had 14.04 until two days ago. Finally decided to do release upgrade to 16.04 and here we go - I ended up with missing display environment when starting with systemd. Good thing is that using upstart everything works fine.
It was saying: error opening display
I suspect two things in my configuration:
- My video card and driver? I am using: GeForce GT 630 with NVIDIA Driver Version: 375.66 from the official nvidia web.
- I have installed Mac theme from here:
http://www.noobslab.com/2014/04/macbuntu-1404-pack-is-released.html
No matter what i do if I switch to anything different then lightdm - it never runs, not even with upstart. I tried with lightDM and gdm3 - no luck at all. lightdm at least brings me to command line login, the other freezes at ubuntu loading dots (dots are moving but that's all).
Last two days I spent a lot of time trying to make this work, with no success at all. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thank you for your time reading this!
