First, this is a race. Races are really hard problems to reproduce and solve reliably. Second, I'm pretty sure this is a hardware specific problem caused by drivers lying to the system about the state of the hardware, and subsequently dying when actually asked to function. This is only exposed on systems that boot extremely fast. Please be patient, it has been looked at by some of the brightest minds in Ubuntu, and has thus far remained a bit of a mystery. -- 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?
