Public bug reported: During latest alpha 14 update X11 dropped to shell half way through installation and then froze. Rebooting resulted in cursor only with no startup. Rebooted to recovery and ran dpkg which then carried on installing the update packages, some issues over Nvidia driver/module config's. Reboot to working X11/system. Obviously this would have resulted in a fresh install for a new linux/Ubuntu user!
