I run Ubuntu 14.04 and the workaround in #127 seems to have fixed it for me, thanks Ciprian.
The fact that this is still happening on Ubuntu 14.04 is pretty shocking - I know LightDM and Upstart are effectively deprecated in favour of SDDM and systemd in the newer versions, but since this is such a high- impact bug affecting so many users it really should be fixed in the LTS versions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/969489 Title: lightdm tries (and fails) to start too early?
