[LGB [Gábor Lénárt] <spam@xxxxxx>]

This bug seems to be still valid, but its behaviour is somewhat
different at least for me. When I first noticed this, X did not start at
all, and it dropped to the screen to allow to choose for low graphics
mode, exit to console, etc. Now, X starts however it freezes in a way
that no keyboard can be used (ie to type my password to be able to log
in). I use the system with upstart to work the problem around, but of
course it would be better to forget those workarounds ...

Title:
  Xserver does not start on boot (low-graphics mode)

Status in Light Display Manager:
  Confirmed
Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  After upgrading to (32bit) vivid I hadn't got any problem, but since a
  day (daily upgraded) booting results in a dialog saying low graphics
  mode and a dialog window about this. Choosing running in default mode
  causes to boot splash to be shown forever. if I choose exit to
  console, log in then service stop then start for lightdm, it works
  then though. Maybe is not Xserver bug, but the new init system
  (systemd) race condition of starting things, or such?
