[Bug 823432] [NEW] multiple system breaks: GUI failure, boot failure, sloppy workaround

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Just updated using synaptic since updater was broken.  Rebooted, and
first it booted to my desktop background and a desktop. No unity(not
even window borders) and minimal funcionality.  I was able to get to the
systems settings menu through right clicking, kinda started unity and in
my attempts to stabilize it and close the terminal I started it in, it
closed and I was unable to get it working again.  Rebooted.  X11 didn't
start, to system hang after successful check battery state.  Went into
the recovery menu, got into root terminal, started x "startx", then
still had troubles getting around (acted like a program/nautilus), but
got to another terminal and started to submit this.  I was then able to
use that terminal to start unity as account "root".  I have no idea
where the bug is, or what it could be, but I am willing to give whatever
info necessary.
