This bug is a duplicate of: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/969489 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1066410
This bug has not been resolved as of yet and has affected Ubuntu distributions ever since, at most, 12.10. Not sure before that. Though this problem hasn't been patched to check for dependencies to be loaded before lightdm, a workaround to add sleep 2 to the startup script has been mildly helpful to thwart the racing condition that occurs when this is loading. A while statement should be issued to determine if its dependencies are not loaded already and to pause until the while statement is no longer true. This will allow all users to not have to customize their wait time which might vary between boots and not work every time. Also, this bug affects my installation and hasn't been addressed in the past 3 revisions of Ubuntu. If someone would be so kind as to get this fixed for the next revision, it would be greatly appreciated. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1241929 Title: Lightdm Ubuntu 13.10 fails to start "intermittently" after cold boot or from shutdown/reboot.
