Currently I've been running without issues with the following
configuration in /etc/init/lightdm.conf since September 2013.
[...]
start on ((filesystem
and runlevel [!06]
and started dbus
and plymouth-ready
and stopped udevtrigger) # <- one line fix
or runlevel PREVLEVEL=S)
[...]
My configuration is:
Ubuntu 12.04 64bit
Intel SSD 335
Nvidia GTS 650 with NVIDIA drivers.
lightdm version 1.2.3-0ubuntu2.4
Additionally, dependencies on the following were not helping to solve the
problem:
graphics-device-added PRIMARY_DEVICE_FOR_DISPLAY=1 - this event is not fired on
my machine
graphics-device-added - this event is fired too early - possibly on vesafb load
- ligthdm crashes and the fallback mode kicks in.
drm-device-added PRIMARY_DEVICE_FOR_DISPLAY=1 - is not fired on my machine

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').
