Public bug reported:

Attempt to login to ubuntu system and it fails, it shows the background but nothing else. Troubleshooting led me to look at .xsession-errors which pointed at upstart. Attempt to use upstart-udev-bridge on it's on and it says:
upstart-udev-bridge: Could not connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused

Systemd is the default and works like it is supposed to. I removed
upstart and I can login again. However, that removes unity, ubuntu-
desktop and a whole host of other useful things. It would be nice if I
could have a solution to the login issues but I would settle for a
general purge of upstart from every package.
