I forgot to say that I've installed Linaro Ubuntu Desktop 3.1.1.8 on a Pandaboard ES.

Hello.
Since I'm not experienced,I would like to talk with you about this potentially bug list :
- I can't use another desktop manager except Unity.
I made 3 modifications to accomplish the task,but with no success :
a) I ran update-alternatives --config x-session manager and I chosen lxde or xfce as default DM b) I modified the file : ~/.xinitrc adding exec startlxde/xfce4 c) When Unity starts automatically,I choose lxde or xfce4,but my choice is not remembered for the next login.
- I chosen to use another DM because some time after having used
Linaro,something hasn't worked anymore and I have started to see nothing. Unity icons/menus are disappeared.
- I think there are graphic problems,the mouse pointer does not
disappear correcly. On the picture attached you can see three pointers.

In theory when you do the login at another session, and then logout, it'll save your previous session.
Maybe lightdm is confused and not getting the previous session name from your user.
Try this to enable Unity-2d, for example (as root): rm -f /home/linaro/.dmrc rm -rf /var/cache/lightdm rm -rf /var/lib/AccountsService/users dbus_user_path=`dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.Accounts /org/freedesktop/Accounts org.freedesktop.Accounts.FindUserByName string:$DEFAULT_USER | awk -F """ {'print $2'}` dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.Accounts ${dbus_user_path} org.freedesktop.Accounts.User.SetXSession string:ubuntu-2d
And also remove the 'user-session' line from /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf/
Reboot, and see if that works for you. Here's a way to check if you're running unity-3d or 2d: https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/QA/TestCases/Ubuntu#Unity_3D

Yeah, that's a known issue and I'm still working on getting it fixed. Hopefully this will be done in the next few days.
Cheers,

Sorry, here $DEFAULT_USER should be 'linaro', or any other user you created at your image.
