[Bug 1364630] Re: init: Error while reading from descriptor: Broken pipe

 

I have got this problem upgrading three machines from Ubuntu 14.04 to
14.10, two nVidia, one AMD. It's now not possible to log into the AMD
one - the desktop is missing and the system is frozen not responding to
anything. I have switched to XFCE on that machine and its working fine.
The nVidia machines freeze after about 10 mins on standard graphics.
They are almost usable if I use the nVidia drivers, but then after 10
minutes the background will stop updating so that moving any windows
around leaves an annoying trail, and when minimizing a window it appears
as if it is still there. I don't if any of that is related to this bug
or not. I'm also suffering from bug 1359439. All in all, this update has
been a complete disaster.
