Additional Information - The bug has occurred on the same hardware a couple of times now. The installation of 16.04 works, and I am able to use the desktop.
It is the upgrade that introduce 16.04.1 onto the hardware that appears to cause the issues. After upgrading I am prompted for a password which when entered, starts the desktop wallpaper, and then appears to hang. Note that I am able to log onto the laptop using the Guest user, and can get to the desktop. After reading around the 16.04.1 upgrade it appears that there are changes to the lightdm and gnome software - which appears to suggest that my hardware is having issues with these new packages, and potentially a 'permission' issues with the new packages. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1605310 Title: lighted hangs on new 32bit 16.04 installation after list-upgrade Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Installed a 32bit laptop with Ubuntu 16.04.
