When X fails to start, I don't get the safe mode screen; I just have a blinking cursor in the top left corner. This occurs during random bootups, and without any interaction; the failure is before the username/password textbox is presented. I'm not sure what the "something happening during login" could be. The system is not set to autologin.
During those bootups that fail, I typically log in to a tty and run "sudo service lightm restart". If I run "sudo service lightdm start", then I get a message about how lightdm is already running. Any ideas what my issue is? Are you sure that it is not the same race condition biting me? -- 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?
