Public bug reported: This bug report may be related/associated with Bug #1268113, which I have also opened, as I only ever see this problem immediately after that problem has occurred. So, after my laptop has hung with the problem described in bug #1268113, I am forced to power-cycle my laptop. Occasionally (but not always) on that first power-on after hitting that problem, I experience *this* problem, where the laptop fails to boot to the greeter screen.
Text consoles (CTL-ALT-F1 etc) are available, and my system is apparently up and running, but the graphical console (CTL-ALT-F7) remains black, and never gets as far as the greeter screen. I ran apport-bug to collect this information in the hope that it may be useful. I have guessed plymouth as the problem package, but feel free to redirect me as appropriate.
