[Nick Sharp <1250875@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ubuntu 14.04 has just recently started doing this to me too about a week
ago, today being 2015-04-22.  I keep Ubuntu upgraded on this 64bit PC
(Intel i5) to the latest state nearly all the time.

I wonder if this helps:

When I turn on the power (with the BIOS is set to start the PC when
power resumes) I often see my desktop for an instant before the system
flips to the login screen.

If however I reboot the machine without downing the power, the auto
logon works OK.

Happy to do any diagnostics as directed.
