Ubuntu 14.04.1 latest updates broke Unity session (Player 6.0.4)

Host:     Windows 7 x64 SP1

Guest     Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS x64

 

A bunch of updates showed up yesterday for the kernel, DKMS, and some nvidia packages. After rebooting, I can login but Unity desktop session never loads. No icons, etc. Just the desktop background image.

 

I decided to try a terminal with CTRL+ALT+F1, which complains that the vmware tools failed to load. Also, I can't login. It won't accept my username and password. Also tried login as guest or root but it won't accept my password or blank password for either account. So I have no ability to diagnose/fix this with terminal commands. Can't even look at /home to see what my username is...

 

This VM was created with the easy install method. Does it generate a different username that I need to use?

 

Help would be much appreciated!
