Public bug reported: All graphics elements that depend on Unity do not work. However I am able to login through lightdm and compiz loads, so I can have some GUI. (I will update with pictures, once I figure out how to access my system properly)
I have gone thoroughly over the updates that led to this issue and have narrowed the culprit. What I did was to go to /var/log/apt/history.log and manually follow the trail of packages (including drivers) to isolate the issue. It turns out since the last update of unity and systemd (+related) packages, unity does not work with Nvidia's drivers any more. (I will update with the history.log as soon as I can find a way to upload without unity). However, compiz and lightdm work flawlessly at the moment and if I revert updates (for unity and accompanying) way back, unity loads as well. Further updates will follow below.
