** Description changed: Since some days lightdm fails to come up again after logging out of Unity. I get thrown at VT7 with its startup messages, and when trying to restart the lightdm service, eventually the following shows up in /var/log/Xorg.0.log: - Cannot open virtual console 7 (Input/output error) + Cannot open virtual console 7 (Input/output error) - It works fine using gdm, so there is something in the logout or respawn - process that gdm can handle, while lightdm cannot. + Using GDM instead of Lightdm, "Log out" fails in the same manner, but I + can restart gdm to get back at the login screen. + + There appears to be something broken in the logout or respawn process + that gdm can handle (better), while lightdm cannot.
