Public bug reported: I recently upgraded to ubuntu 14.10 and started experiencing repeatable unity crashes while watching youtube videos using current chrome. It doesn't always crash at the first attempt but most definitely.
Once unity crashes it is respawn but again crashes immediately, the PC becomes unusable until I kill X from the console or reboot.

In my view this is a regression.
