Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Xubuntu 14.04, when the machine starts up, I don't get a login screen, just a black screen. ctrl-alt-f1 works, and if I stop lightdm $ sudo service lightdm stop nand start gdm $ sudo service gdm start I can login as normal. Things I've tried, without success: - reinstalling lightdm - changing alternatives (via update-alternatives) Before this upgrade, the machine ran Xubuntu 12.04 lts, without problems. The machine is an Asus U35jc laptop, it has hybrid graphics (nVidia Optimus), but I am only using the open drivers (I don't use the dedicated graphics card, in Xubuntu 12.04 I just switched it off to save battery).
