Hi everyone! I've faced this annoying gleech too. After every restart/powerup my laptop I see normal greeter. After login to my account I see just wallpaper or black screen with mouse pointer on it. Pointer looks correctly, and I can move it without a problem. But I see no Unity panel on the left side, nor on the top of screen. Then I switch to tty1 by Ctrl+Alt+F1, login again in terminal and do "sudo service lightdm restart". It makes greeter shown again, then I login normally and see Unity launcher and panel. I can send any log if needed.
P.S. My laptop is Lenovo g505s, based on AMD APU A10, so I have to use fglrx drivers from AMD official site. -- 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/1241929 Title: Lightdm Ubuntu 13.10 fails to start "intermittently" after cold boot or from shutdown/reboot.

Upon boot the next morning I found a blank screen with no greeter. I rebooted. This time I saw a wallpaper but no menu's. I did sudo service lightdm restart and it worked. But now after each shutdown or even a reboot I have to manually restart lightdm or might get lucky with lightdm greeter... I have added sleep 2 to the lightdm.conf.
