Wile systemd-shim 7-1 → 7-2 is essentially a no-op (i. e. harmless), you
really shouldn't have gotten that version automatically yet -- it's
still in proposed. Pretty pretty please do *not* run utopic-proposed!
It's pretty much guaranteed to break your computer and is not supported.
As for the lightdm failure, I just heard from Chris confirming that
there's apparently some trouble with last night's version (bug 1365336).

For this, please run "sudo apt-get -f install" to fix a (probably) half-
broken installation, and disable -proposed.

Title:
  Could not get session id for session

Status in Light Display Manager:
  New
Status in “systemd-shim” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  A few hours back we got two packages upgraded: systemd-shim (7.2) and lightdm (1.11.8-0ubuntu1).
  On that pc, i've closed the session then shutdown: everything was stable, and its a fresh standard installation using upstart for booting.

  Here are the troubles met at the next cold boot (verbosy mode):

  - the boot process goes well until "Add swap on /dev/sdb2" as
  expected, but then nothing, only hdd activity continuing hardly
  scanning, and no errors/warnings printed.  Had to force a hardware's
  reset, can't call tty1-6 (system not responsive ??)

  - second cold boot: the system load fsck on the /home partition, then
  the process continue to boot, made a pause at load the swap partition
  again, the hdd was activity working a few (long) seconds, so i've
  tried to switch to tty1 and successed. I've reconfigured lightdm and
  tried  startx : it seemed to continue its processes even if the hdd
  was again hardly scanning unsually. But i only got a black screen: no
  mouse pointer, no tty. So reboot again.

  - third try: same issue, but was able to open tty when it did a pause
  at swap partition loading: so i reconfigured lightdm and choose gdm as
  default that time. Startx was ran and after some hard hdd scanning, it
  finally loaded a degraded login screen: no mouse but the keyboard was
  working. After login validation, gnome-shell appeared as expected, but
  again no mouse; a ctrl+alt+T opened a terminal, where i'm right now,
  to report that issue.
