Public bug reported: Upgraded to latest Artful development packages and rebooted my computer. Expected to be able to login but was met with black screen when GDM was supposed to start. I had to login to the terminal. Added echo "gnome- session" >> ~/.xinitrc and run startx and the gnome-session run. Hopefully you can see the logs in the files ubuntu-bug gathered.
