Looked at the description of 1357746 which indicates problem caused by
the latest level of xserver-xorg-video-intel.  The "boot hang on black
screen" forum entry (see Ubuntu Development Version) I had with Gnome
also involved the same component.  In trying to debug the Gnome failure
it was recommended to go to an earlier level of xserver-xorg-video-
intel.  The only way I knew to do this was to copy the executable files
(/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so,
/usr/lib/libI810XvMC.so.1.0.0, and /usr/lib/libIntelXvMC.so.1.0.0) from
my working 14.04 system to the failing 14.10 Gnome system.  When I
booded the modified 14.10 system it came up and ran with only a minor
screen refresh slowness.  Since this fixed the Gnome system I tried it
on the Unity system but unless I did something wrong it made no
difference.  The interesting thing was when I backed off the changes in
the Gnome system (replaced the 3 original modules) the system continued
to boot OK without any screen refresh slowness.

Title:
  Unity Doesn't Start on 14.10 System

Status in Unity:
  Incomplete
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Been having problems getting any 14.10 build (Gnome and Unity) to boot
  on this desktop.  Submitting problem report on Unity since seems
  easist to document.  I downloaded the Ubuntu 14.10 daily build dated
  8/29/14 and went through the install process without any problem.
  After completion of the install, doing the first boot of the system,
  and the login screen my desktop background is displayed with desktop
  ICONs.   There is no Ubuntu banner at the top of the screen or any
  Unity launch bar on the left.  My only option was to ctl-alt-f1 and
  build/save a bug report which I using to report under the working
  14.04 system on this same desktop.
