Yes, this bug still occurs and has expanded to include very fast Haswell hardware with Intel graphics. This seems to be race condition where X is not ready for lightDM to start. We suspect an upstart bug or lightdm.conf config file issue. This fix works consistently: - We've found that adding "sleep 2" above "exec lightdm" in /etc/init/lightdm.conf also resolves the booting issue - System76 is packing and distributing it's own LighDM with this fix so that updates don't wipe it out and then cause failed boots for our users. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/873495 Title: LightDM fails to start after nvidia-current or nvidia-current-updates are installed (upstart job issue) Status in Light Display Manager: New Status in NVIDIA Drivers Ubuntu: New Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “lightdm” source package in Precise: Triaged Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers” source package in Precise: Confirmed Bug description: Occurs reliably on fast Sandy Bridge hardware with a fast GPU - GTX 485M, GTX 560M or GTX 580M.
