In 13.10 on an Aspire laptop with an HDMI attached 1920x1280 monitor the background on one or the other comes up blank depending upon how I set the monitor positions. When side by side with the laptop to the right, it is the laptop screen that comes up blank. Gkrellm is supposed to come up on the top right hand corner of the laptop screen but instead it is in the top left of the external monitor. -- Behavior not evident in previous versions.
I find I can fix the background situation by changing the background, Going to a terminal session and doing a restart lightdm also works. I'll try the init script suggestions provided here to see what happens. -- 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: Confirmed Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Triaged 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').
