13.10 daily image - Unity not launching after upgrade

[Nicholas Skaggs]

Vasudevan, this is in a virtualbox image right? And your using the 
64-bit daily saucy image? Can you give us anymore details about your 
setup that might help? If your encountering issues, you can workaround 
them a couple ways.

1) Use a non-unity desktop enviroment. If something in unity is broken, 
use lxde, xfce, or something else in the interim.
2) Stay on an older image and don't upgrade until your bug is fixed. 
Make sure you file it, but if your using a vm, you should be able to 
clone it so you have a working machine that you can use and a spare test 
version to check and track progress on the bug preventing you from 
upgrading.
