If I use `sudo lightdm restart` it just brings up a blank screen. I didn't have this specific problem when I was running the Saucy development branch. When I try to use `sudo lightdm restart` I get the error: Failed to use bus name org.freedesktop.DisplayManager, do you have appropriate permissions? and I get a blank screen again.
