Same problem with my X230 since I installed a SSD drive. Previously ran the same device with a normal drive without these issues.
Lenovo X230 Ubuntu 12.10/13.04 64bit Samsung SSD 840 i5-3320M using the processors HD4000 graphics. Definitely checks the boxes for a race issue. Often I can boot just fine on the first try. On other ocassions even multiple reboots don't get me to login. Switching to a console and starting lightdm always works. As this issue has gone unfixed for so long and - at least judging from the information in this report - there is no progress made towards a solution it seems about time a workaround is developed and distributed. This issue is annoying for advanced users. Everyone else will think their computer is broken. Imho at this point even the most horrible band-aid is preferable to the current state of affairs. This issue now spans 12.04 LTS, 12.10, 13.04 and soon 13.10. -- 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?
