Public bug reported: I'm not quite sure if the title is right because unity-greeter is there but the interface doesn't appear sometimes.
Basically, I press the power button on my Samsung Series 9 notebook, get a short purple flash and then a black screen with a cursor blinking in the top left part of the screen and a moveable mouse cursor. Roughly I'd say that I need 5 to 6 attempts to boot. I've seen some very weird log messages in /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log unfortunately I managed to boot without any issues right now. Next time it does that I'll save the logs and upload them to this bug report.
