CFT: Unity 6.6

[Nicholas Skaggs]

Chris, are you able to boot in recovery mode, or boot into an alternate 
desktop? If so, then you should be able to file a bug.

Additionally, how did this come about? Did you update and have this 
issue? Does a livecd from say, today's daily image, boot up and load a 
live session on the machine? Does re-installing unity help at all? I 
would start trying to debug the source of the problem via these 
questions; probably before I even filed the bug so I would be able to 
give good information. When your ready file a bug against unity (and 
mention it's video related, hence it will also file against compiz).

ubuntu-bug unity

Hope this helps!
