It looks like I just ran into this issue with Ubuntu 16.10 so the
upstart reference may be wrong here.
Is any more data needed or would it be useless anyway?

already but nothing helps?

This bug hit me after an upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04.1. Strangely I was not
affected earlier. Maybe a reinstall might fix this issue? Two out of three
reboots leads to failsafe X. Sleep command improved the situation but still
50%... Other solutions like restart in rc.local somehow did not work.
FWIW, I'm also on 14.04 LTS and the workaround from comment #127 did not
work for me. (nor any of the other lightdm work-arounds.)

Title:
lightdm tries (and fails) to start too early?
Status in Upstart:
Bug 1080082 has been marked as a duplicate of this one, although I'm not
sure it is (I use fglrx).
Anyway, my workaround for 1.5 months with no issues and no need for
arbitrary sleep has been to modify /etc/init/lightdm.conf and adding
"respawn" like this:
...
stop on runlevel [016]
respawn # <-
This is quite bad when running ubuntu on VMWare WorkStation 9
I tried editing the lines:
and stopped udevtrigger #this line I added
and (drm-device-added DEVPATH=*card0 PRIMARY_DEVICE_FOR_DISPLAY=1
But that didn't work.

I thought I'd try stripping the config back to the original without the
'-d' in the 'exec lightdm -d' line and after six reboots, not one
failure. I'll leave the config in its original state now and if/when the
symptoms reappear, I'll grab all the logs and post them up here.

Ideally lightdm should wait until soundcards are ready as well, waiting for the
udev event with SOUND_INITIALIZED="1".
See udev script 78-sound-card.rules.

Christmas break when I don't really need to use my computer for any real
activity. Are you talking about a debug-level log of X or something
similar?
Tell me what you would like to see and I'll strip the '-d' from the

I agree, it is not a fix (well, a permanent and proper one anyway) but
it does suggest that it's a race condition and that it is in the Binary
itself and not the /etc/init/lightdm script as some of the other
potential "fixes" have tried to remedy.

That's not a fix, that's just slowing down the exec by enabling
debugging so that it's not causing the race issue.
