This bug seems to be still valid, but its behaviour is somewhat
different at least for me. When I first noticed this, X did not start at
all, and it dropped to the screen to allow to choose for low graphics
mode, exit to console, etc. Now, X starts however it freezes in a way
that no keyboard can b
It seems though it can be guessed more or less what can cause problems
(ie thinkpad + lightdm + systemd) the exact details are not the same,
and some other conditions can/do count as well. Also the "not always"
factor sometimes, kinda odd.
However, as bug 1340964 if often referenced for me, and it
Interesting - another Thinkpad X240 _wasn't_ fixed by today's update,
but when I checked the configuration it also had sddm installed (thought
it wasn't using it as the default login display manager). Removing sddm,
which still allows the kubuntu desktop package to remain, gives a
functioning syste
For me, it's kinda odd. It seem to work (and worked even some day ago),
then trying again (boot again) and it does not work again then ...
Recently it seems to be quite unpredictable. But it can be a reason that
sometimes I attach external monitor via the VGA D-SUB connector, but
sometimes I don't.
With an update today (9 April) that included lightdm, starting up with
systemd+lightdm is working again for me on an X240 Thinkpad (and
presumably the other problematic Thinkpads, though I haven't had a
chance yet to check).

Ok, I was too fast ... Tried again: now, X server starts and logic
screen is shown (though with the default background not the one based on
the last user logged in) but keyboard does not usable and no mouse
cursor either. Still, choosing upstart seems to work!

Same deal with a Thinkpad X201 - this also now boots to the lightdm
login screen after the latest updates but it "freezes" at this point.
The cursor disappears when it is moved and the only thing that
resurrects the laptop after this is the power button.

This (systemd+lightdm) is still broken for me on a Thinkpad X240 after
the latest updates.

Today I tried again and now it seems system boots normally, I can log
in, with lightdm+systemd. I guess some of the updates solved the
problem, but it would be useful to hear that it's not only me ...

I can confirm that it is now a "hard freeze" with systemd+lightdm when
you exit to console after getting kicked into low graphics mode on
startup with several Lenovo Thinkpads (X201, X300, X240).

- upstart + lightdm
- systemd + gdm
