Just an idea: Sometimes "sudo restart lightdm" magically fixes such
problems.

I normally run Ubuntu 14.10 (Utopic) - it has been quite stable for
months now. This morning I applied software updates as usual,
attempted to reboot and saw a blank black screen with a mouse cursor
and nothing more. I used Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch to a console and
logged in. As I did so, I saw these messages:
[544.201533] system-logind[925]: Failed to start unit
[email protected]: Unknown unit: [email protected]
[544.201586] system-logind[925]: Failed to start user service:

'ps -ef' showed that the X server was running. I didn't attempt to
debug much further - I needed a working machine, so I made a fresh
overinstall from a daily ISO of 14.10. That worked for a few hours,
but then after another reboot I was stuck at a blank screen again.
Has anyone else seen this? I think I'll have to drop back to Trusty
until this can be fixed. Thanks -
