This seems to happen everytime I boot my computer... I'm running a fresh install of 12.10 on an i7 core, primary SSD, Nvidia drivers from x-swat and Dual monitors with Twinview enabled.
What I've tried so far with no success: - rename to *card0 : seemed to have no effect as there is no card0 in my udev.log : also no PRIMARY_DISPLAY_DEVICE in there either, it's almost as if udev is not finding my graphics card properly - added "and stopped udevtrigger" - added a sleep 2 My last attempt was to add '-d' to exec lightdm, I was hoping to get more info on what was going on... instead it seems to work properly now. On a side note, after much experimentation... I have a much higher chance of a correct boot when my external monitors are not attached. I've only seen it fail a handful of times whereas with external monitors attached it's nearly 100%. Logging in and manually starting lightdm service doesn't help, it just fails immediately again. ** Attachment added: "udev.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/969489/+attachment/3460663/+files/udev.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/969489 Title: lightdm tries (and fails) to start too early? Status in Upstart: New Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Sometimes lightdm comes up fine. Other times it appears to fail. x-0.log shows it tried to load 'nv' (rather than 'nvidia' which is what actually exists). When I then log into console and 'start lightdm', it comes up fine (on :1). I've not had it come up ok today, so I don't know if, when it comes up fine, it starts on :0. No idea if the lightdm.conf needs a change to 'start on'clause, or if this is just a case of a bad shipped config file (for module 'nv').
