I had a really weird problem that, perhaps, it has something to do
with yours. After reading this:

http://notes.torrez.org/2013/04/put-a-burger-in-your-shell.html

I thought "hey, that's a cool idea", so I put a unicode character in
my PS1 environment variable. Afterwards, I was unnable to log into
GNOME; it took me several hours to link the PS1 variable to the
problem, since I did the change inside of GNOME, and I didn't logout
until I upgraded.

I removed the PS1 override, and everything just worked again.

So, just to discard this particular case, you should check your
environment variables.

Regards.
