Public bug reported:
My system has been upgraded through several Ubuntu versions, and I'm now
(15 Feb 2020) on a pre-release version of Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal Fossa).
I've been using Unity on this system since Ubuntu's installation years
ago, and it's worked fine, including when I first installed the pre-
release Ubuntu 20.04 a week or two ago. I updated packages on 13 Feb or
14 Feb, however. Now, when I log in, I get nothing but a blank screen --
no window manager or desktop environment appears to be running. I'm able
to open a Terminal by right-clicking on the (black) desktop and
selecting "run from Terminal" from the list of options, and I can then
start icewm -- but I need to use the "--replace" option because icewm
thinks a window manager IS running, even though the windows have no
widgets or other ways to control them. (I've been using X since pre-
Linux days, so I know what X without a window manager looks like, and to
all appearances, this is it.)
