[Desktop-packages] [Bug 969489] Re: lightdm tries (and fails) to start too early?
I recommend that Canonical moves over to using GDM or another display manager if they can't get this fixed for LightDM. If they're looking to make a good impression, resolving this critical issue should be at the absolute top of the list (and back-ported). -- 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/969489 Title: lightdm tries (and fails) to start too early? Status in Upstart: Confirmed Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Sometimes lightdm comes up fine. Other times it appears to fail. x-0.log shows it tried to load 'nv' (rather than 'nvidia' which is what actually exists). When I then log into console and 'start lightdm', it comes up fine (on :1). I've not had it come up ok today, so I don't know if, when it comes up fine, it starts on :0. No idea if the lightdm.conf needs a change to 'start on'clause, or if this is just a case of a bad shipped config file (for module 'nv').

I still hit this bug on a routine basis. I'm quite surprised it hasn't been raised to a higher priority. Are users who are not geeks expected to know how to handle this when their machine boots to a tty console? The bug was reported in 2011?
