Now something has changed since as I took more disk to use. As the system is a dual-boot, I mounted the Windows system disk (SSD) as read- only and another disk as shared read-write for both systems to use.
What happens now, and actually started happening a couple of days after the changes described above in #113, booting stopped with an error message on the screen about mountall failing. After pressing Ctrl-ALt- Del the boot continues and I get an almost normally behaving system. I have to mount the two abovenemtioned filesystems by hand, but luckily my /home -directory from a non-SSD disk has been mounted succesfully and I can log in. At this point, I do not have the faintest idea about what is going on. -- 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').
