Fabio, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.

To clarify, if you remove the non-default kernel parameter acpi_osi= are you then able to log in?

The problem happens even without acpi_osi= option. I'm now updating this bug from an XFCE session, with which the problem doesn't happen. It always happens when logging in on Unity. This behavior started to happen only recently (about last week), after an update. Before that day it worked even with nvidia drivers installed.

I can also log in to Unity purging all the nvidia drivers. Note that my laptop uses nvidia optimus, which caused some headaches even in the past, so it could be related to that. Let me know what else to test or ask me any other information that could be useful.

Fabio, to advise, you don't have to apport-collect any further unless specifically requested to do so.

To clarify, what update precisely was correlated to this issue beginning?

Sorry, I didn't want to make mess.
I think it has been in the update of the *2016-02-08*, I remember in that update there was the linux-image-4.4. This seems correct as in the following day I intalled xfce to log in and send the bug report.
This is the dpkg log of those days. I'm sorry that's still a massive update..

I have another laptop with optimus which is suffering the same problem, is it useful if I make an apport-collect from that?

Do not use the regression-update tag here. That tag is for regressions introduced in srus.
