* Safe guard against SESSIONTYPE-less sessions. (LP: #1343905) upstart (1.12.1-0ubuntu4.1) trusty; urgency=medium [ James Hunt ] LP: #1317727 * debian/manpages/upstart-events.7: Correction for 'rotate-logs'. * debian/upstart.cron.daily: Specify full path to initctl. * init/man/init.8: Add missing information on '--chroot-sessions'. * debian/upstart.apport: Sort system and session jobs. [ Iain Lane ] * xsession-init: Set $GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID if we are launching a gnome-session session. Some applications (Qt4) require this to be set to any value to detect the environment in use. It was historically set by gnome-session but now this is no longer the root of the session so not all user processes are guaranteed to have it. (LP: #1305294) [ Dimitri John Ledkov ] * Cherrypick reboot command fix to not process REBOOTCOMMAND argument when in runlevels 2-5 and without using force flag.

After reboot and logon to system I've got empty desktop and mouse pointer with no panels and icons. Alt+F2 and similar key combinations didn't work. Switching to console by Ctrl+Alt+F1 worked. After short investigation I've downgraded upstart to version 1.12.1-0ubuntu4 and rebooted. Now everything works as expected.
