Same issue with me on Ubuntu 12.10 x64 with the following hardware :- Intel Core i3-3225 (w/HD 4000) 8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1866 ASRock H77M-ITX motherboard Corsair F40 40GB SSD
On most cold boots now LightDM is failing to start, and will just display the standard display reconfigure message (which obviously doesn't actually do anything other than boot you to a terminal) I have to start LightDM manually 'sudo lightdm' and once it's initialised everything is fine again, and I can even reboot the system and LightDM will usually start (occasionally it will still fail on a reboot). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/969489 Title: lightdm tries (and fails) to start too early? Status in Upstart: New Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Sometimes lightdm comes up fine. Other times it appears to fail. x-0.log shows it tried to load 'nv' (rather than 'nvidia' which is what actually exists). When I then log into console and 'start lightdm', it comes up fine (on :1). I've not had it come up ok today, so I don't know if, when it comes up fine, it starts on :0. No idea if the lightdm.conf needs a change to 'start on'clause, or if this is just a case of a bad shipped config file (for module 'nv').
