Hi,
found today a big pain in my laptop!
Symptoms:
After successful update my ubuntu more concretely unity was not starting properly.
What i saw was the left and upper bar not appearing. [Alt] + [F2], [CTRL] + [ALT] + ,were not sorting any effect.
Problem description:
Personally, I use auto-login which is cool since it allows me to launch the application defined at "Startup Applications".
One of those applications is:
/usr/bin/gnome-screensaver-command --lock
the "system" breaks with the sequence: auto-login and screen lock.
Solution:
press [CTRL] + [ALT] + [F1]
login with your user and password
the following command will disable your Startup Applications"
sed -i '/X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled/s/true/false/' ~/.config/autostart/*.desktop
now just reboot the machine
sudo reboot
instead of rebooting a [B]more elegant way is to restart gnome
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
