[Desktop-packages] [Bug 969489] Re: lightdm tries (and fails) to start too early?

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? I'm just dumbfounded. -- You received this bug
