Bug Description
After update I got this very annoying bug.
I can login in console, but, other than occassional windows with apport trash, I see nothing except a mouse pointer. It happens with ubuntu, gnome (all variants), cinnamon and openbox sessions. Only lxde (which a very expert friend suggested I tested) works.
The bug was further complicated by the fact that network-manager is unusable without X, the laptop does not have ethernet and I have only wifi here :(. I had to use usb tethering with my phone to install lxde and suffered a 36hours blackout
