ATTENTION: workaround found. The problem is an xorg.conf corrupted file created automatically.
To use X you have to: 1) boot the system (you have only the command line) 2) remove the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf 3) issue the command sudo startx Noe the GUI works; but you have to do this everytime you reboot -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1402149 Title: After update lightdm doesn't start Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Updateted 14 Dec 2014 Kubuntu 14.10 64Bit After reboot there is no gui.
