I don know what you exactly mean by the Raring kernel. I tried to boot in an older version of the kernel, 3.2.0.41 generic. The login screen is indeed shown after some seconds, however it was smaller than the monitor, and after login only the background was shown also smaller than the monitor. No launcher and no top menu/system tray was shown. The printer driver, normally displayed in the system tray, displayed an message “No system tray detected on this system”. So back to text mode and reboot. First shutdown now command stops after modem- manager messages. Second shutdown now command gives and failed on killing all remaining processes and stops. Hard reset needed.
Rebooted using the newest kernel, wait one minute and login. no launcher and no top menu/system tray was shown. So back to text mode and reboot. Rebooted using the newest kernel, wait one minute and login with a different user. This worked fine, until shutdown the system. It ask for conformation, however mouse clicks and enter key had no effect. So back to text mode and reboot. Hope this info helps, as I spent a considerable time to produce this, and will need to spend considerable time to restore the system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1219954 Title: Slow startup of lightDM in Ubuntu 13.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1219954/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
