Public bug reported:
After the boot process finishes, I see the login box from lightdm. The
text cursor is blinking in the password box, the mouse cursor responds
to the mouse and touchpad, etc.
I type the first character of my password. The text cursor stops
blinking (so far, it always freezes *visible*). The mouse cursor moves
with the mouse, but nothing responds to clicks. I can switch VTs using
CTRL+ALT+F1 and so on, but no other key brings a response, even the
power key.
If I switch VTs away and back, the screen initially shows the lightdm
screen but redraws to solid aubergine, and is blank other than the mouse
cursor. The mouse cursor continues to track mouse movement, and VT
switching continues to work, but the X display remains unresponsive in
every other way.
For the past few days, this happens about 50% of login attempts. More
than a week ago, it never happened.
This is on Precise.
