Public bug reported:
After rebooting my laptop, the lightdm login screen started, and in the
middle of playing back the login screen ready sound, it suddenly
stopped, dumping me to a text console with a flashing cursor.
It appears indicator-keyboard-service segfaulted, which caused lightdm
to quit.
I believe lightdm should handle indicator failures more gracefully then
dumping the user to a flashing cursor without any indication of what to
do, or how to recover without pressing the power button.
Perhaps the login screen should survive without indicators, or it should
attempt to start more than once?
See attached *old files for my previous boot which failed in this
manner.
