I am having a problem with a "similar" issue as the OP on my iBook G4 running Lu 14.04 . . . after running a recent update/upgrade with only 3 or 4 items listed, "dbus" was one I remember . . . screen went black . . . tried to do something in TTY console to "restart" . . . then wound up shutting down. On reboot the lightdm window loads, when I add my password, the screen goes black, then the lightdm window loads again . . . . Using "guest" to log in gets me into a GUI that works . . . can't log in as admin/user.
Booted into "recovery" and ran through the dpkg & fsck & network enabling . . . a few times, there were numerous errors that showed up . . . problem was not fixed . . . .
