Same problem on my new machine after a fresh 12.10 install. MB: MSI Z77A-G43 CPU: i5-3570K GPU: Onboard Intel HD 4000 SSD: Patriot Inferno (SF-1222)
On my laptop (Aspire 5750 w/i7-2630QM using onboard graphics) with an upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10, also using an SF-1222 based SSD, I'm NOT seeing the issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1066410 Title: lightdm doesn't load correctly on Ubuntu 12.10 Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Ubuntu 12.10 doesn't load correctly because lightdm shows only a mouse pointer and a blinking command-line cursor. I don't know if this is only Ubuntu 12.10 specific bug, because a similar error appeared on my friend's computer back in 2011 on Ubuntu 11.10. However, switching to a command line and restarting lightdm solves the problem per instance. Also rebooting the device solves it, but also only for the specific boot. Another reboot ends with the same "black screen with a working mouse pointer and a blinking cursor". I am using Asus Zenbook ux32vd (Intel HD Graphics 4000 + not used Nvidia GT620M - Optimus technology).
