I did the following change:
gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
--- contents ---
Option "BlankTime" "0"
Option "StandbyTime" "0"
Option "SuspendTime" "0"
Option "OffTime" "0"
Option "NoPM" "true"
SubSection "extmod"
Option "omit DPMS"
EndSubSection
--- end ---
Before my change xorg.conf was empty.
I have had some hangs during boot time, because of "etpwuid_r(): failed
due to unknown user id" before, but with the above change the computer
hanged every time I tried to boot.
Then I entered recovery mode and root shell...
cd /etc/X11
mv xorg.conf xorg.conf-1
... I shuted down the computer and after that I could log on again.
Just for testing, I repeater the above steps again and the error came
back. To start the computer (and to write this error report) I had to
rename xorg.conf again.
