Yes, this bug still occurs and has expanded to include very fast Haswell hardware with Intel graphics. This seems to be race condition where X is not ready for lightDM to start. We suspect an upstart bug or lightdm.conf config file issue. This fix works consistently:
- We've found that adding "sleep 2" above "exec lightdm" in /etc/init/lightdm.conf also resolves the booting issue - System76 is packing and distributing it's own LighDM with this fix so that updates don't wipe it out and then cause failed boots for our users. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/873495 Title: LightDM fails to start after nvidia-current or nvidia-current-updates are installed (upstart job issue) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/873495/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
