Bug Description
Last night, Ubuntu Software Updater installed a round of updates.
I shut down my computer, and when I booted this morning, the GUI failed to load or run at all.
I switched to a terminal with Ctrl+Alt+F1, which worked fine.
I tried rebooting into 3.13.0-91 via GRUB, at which point the GUI worked fine.
Examining Ubuntu Software Center History, the new linux-image stood out, so I tried uninstalling that first.
The command I ran was:
sudo apt-get remove linux-image-
My machine works fine now (with the old linux-image), but I thought I should inform you of the problem with the new linux-image.
P.S. Since xorg is involved I tried to use ubuntu-bug xorg as the instructions said, but there was no way to enter an explanation, and reporting system information with no explanation *now* when my system is *working* would be completely misleading. There seems to be no way to attach any text or message to an ubuntu-bug report.
I have attached the output from apport-bug --save=bugfilename linux-image-
