Public bug reported: After upgrading from Ubuntu 14.04 to Ubuntu 14.10, the system seems to hang during boot.
I see the following screens: 1. GRUB boot menu 2. blank screen 3. a screen with output. This disappears quite fast so I was only able to read the first line which is "Restoring resolver state..." or something similar. 4. another screen with output. The last line of the output is "Starting upowerd...done." . After that, the system seems to hang. However, I'm still able to switch to another terminal via Alt+F2 and login there. If I use startx from there, a graphical environment starts. I'm not sure which one it is, but it does not seem to be XFCE which I'm normally using (I've configured XFCE to use a dark desktop theme: grey font on black background). This environment only has a background and some desktop icons. There is nothing else present, e.g. there are no bars.
