It may also be worth checking the logs in /var/log (cd into /var/log

still exists :)
Thanks all of you. startx didn't help - x was already running. The
xorg log shows no problems. The problem is in, or associated with,
lightdm, but stopping and restarting it made no difference. Currently, I
have altered the default desktop manager to gdm. This works, but I
really don't like it! Lightdm running unity really is nice. gdm is not
as easy to use and is much slower.
I guess I'll just have to try lightdm after every likely update until it
works again. I booted into my paralell installation of 13.10 this
morning to get access to Trusty and edit the desktop manager. It is so
slow compared with Trusty. I'd forgotten about that.
Regards, Barry.
Might be worth re-installing lightdm, possibly after purging to remove
config files....just a thought.
