Title:
  multiple system breaks: GUI failure, boot failure, sloppy workaround

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
