I have this problem with a Toshiba Portegé Z930 and Ubuntu 12.04. But I get instead a black screen with a mouse cursor and a console cursor blinking. After pressing 2 or ENTER, lightdm starts again.
I leave a "tail -f /var/log/Xorg.0.log" on the tty1 before pressing 2 or ENTER, and then I press it, and I can see the crash log. I'm attaching it. #105 workaround does NOT fix the problem for me. Removing the /etc/init /plymount-splash.conf does, however. ** Attachment added: "Black screen before pressing ENTER - Toshiba Portegé Z930" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/532047/+attachment/3453842/+files/2012-12-05%2018.15.59.jpg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532047 Title: Plymouth text-mode splash causes X to crash on first run due to shared tty7 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/532047/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
