I too am experiencing this issue, my machine stops booting at Checking battery state regardless of whether I have lightdm or gdm configured as desktop manager & the only way I can get to Unity or Gnome-Shell to start is to boot into recovery mode & do either
"sudo lightdm start" or "sudo gdm start" both of which take me to a login screen where I can login to Unity or Gnome-Shell normally I find it puzzling why my machine is even checking battery state when it is a desktop machine, so the only battery involved is the cmos/bios battery & if there was an issue with that surely it would notify me during the POST process before the OS has started to load -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/804171 Title: After latest upgrade of oneiric, Lightdm or Xserver not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/804171/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
