I have completed all suggested updates for 12.04 LTS after a long time of inactivity with my administrative account as the old laptop (Sony Vaio) was used by my wife only. After the update the Unity was gone (and a message like "Compiz was closed unexpectedly"). Trying every solution I found was not helpful. Eventually I upgraded to 14.04 LTS (by do-release-upgrade). When upgraded and rebooted, after logging in I get a pop-up "System problem detected". After a few seconds it comes back to login screen, and that's true for all users including guest user. I tried every suggested solution I found including changing lightdm to gdm to no avail. Again removed the Gnome desktop, problem persists. Would somebody please help to find a solution? I appreciate it.

Set appropriate ownership to .Xauthority and .ICEauthority.

chown username:username .Xauthority
chown username:username .ICEauthority

Set permission for /tmp

sudo chmod a+wt /tmp

Restart lightdm

dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
sudo service lightdm restart

Reboot and login, this should fix your problem

If this doesn't fix your problem then remove incompatible graphics driver:

For Nvidia:

sudo nvidia-settings --uninstall 
sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia*

For amd:

sudo apt-get purge fglrx*
