Same problem as well. The problem started after switching to a SSD disk instead of an old normal disk. In most cases I got a printout"Scanning for btrfs filesystems" after which the "booting stopped".
Adding the sleep line mentioned in earlier posts solved the issue for me. Prior to that I worked around the issue by doing "ctrl+alt+f1", logging in and manually running "sudo lightdm". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1066410 Title: lightdm doesn't load correctly on Ubuntu 12.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1066410/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
