I was able to reproduce this problem in a VM. Running X and compiz under gdb, I find that compiz is dying after the X server is killed with SIGKILL.

I also see this in /var/log/syslog:

Mar 25 22:31:40 trusty-upgrade kernel: [ 7167.438442] init: lightdm post-stop process (2433) killed by KILL signal

There is no evidence in dmesg that this is OOM related. So something appears to be inappropriately kill -9'ing lightdm on upgrade.

This is not the only process in /var/log/syslog showing as killed with SIGKILL.

The first of these happens in the logs at 22:31:39. At that time, /var/log/dpkg shows these packages being configured: udisks desktop-file-utils gvfs-common gvfs-libs gvfs-daemons gvfs psmisc python-gi.

/var/log/dist-upgrade/apt-term.log doesn't show anything particularly illuminating.

Attaching the contents of /var/log.
