Public bug reported:
This has been a bug since 11.10 at least. Booting up, I get put into a
text shell rather than the lightdm greeter.
The problem is, the nv kernel hasn't loaded yet so lightdm fails. If you
look at the attached /etc/init/lightdm.conf (if it's attached), I had to
insert "sleep 5" before the line "exec lightdm" to make it wait a few
seconds for the nv kernel. This resolves the issue.
It would be great to see this fixed by 12.10. The bug has been around
for way too long and is a critical one.
