PeterKnaggs, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better. Could you please test http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-
live/current/ and advise to the results?

** Description changed:

- The Ubuntu 14.10 desktop amd64 live CD gives no graphical desktop on a Apple MacBookPro 8,3 (A1397) 2011
- (hardware described here: http://www.penlug.org/foswiki/bin/view/Main/HardwareInfoAppleMacBookProA1297 ).
- 
- I also tested an upgrade from Ubuntu 14.04.02LTS to Ubuntu 14.10 and similarly lost the graphical login 
- as xorg no longer started (only the tty terminal login prompt appeared after reboot).
- 
- Please let me know if any further info is needed to reproduce the issue on your side, or if you'd need me to
- collect any further diagnostic info from the system, I'm a software engineer so I should be able to follow any
- instructions you provide, including compiling patches etc.
- 
- I'm somewhat surprised that xorg would stop working on the Apple MacBookPro 8,3 as it uses the 
- free radeon driver in Ubuntu 14.10 which has worked fine through many many Ubuntu upgrades 
- on this particular machine. 
- 
- To reproduce the issue: attempt to start an Apple MacBookPro 8,3 using the Ubuntu 14.10 desktop amd64 live CD.
- Notice that no graphical desktop ever appears.  
- Alternately, after a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04.02LTS, upgrade to 14.10, and notice no graphical desktop, only
- they tty terminal login is presented.
- 
- I've tried searching for an explanation through many launchpad bugs, but
- haven't found any other reports.
