Found this post here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/215842/ubuntu-12-10-sometimes-a-black- screen-after-boot:
I had almost the same problem, black screen at login :( I had to Ctrl+Alt+F1 and restart lightdm and then it worked perfectly, but it sucked a bit to do that all the time so this is what a did next sudo gedit /etc/rc.local before the "exit 0" line insert this line: service lightdm restart This worked for me,and i hope it'll work for you too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/969489 Title: lightdm tries (and fails) to start too early?
