Title:
LightDM fails to start after nvidia-current or nvidia-current-updates
are installed (upstart job issue)
Status in Light Display Manager:
Incomplete
Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in lightdm source package in Precise:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Occurs reliably on fast Sandy Bridge hardware with a fast GPU - GTX
485M, GTX 560M or GTX 580M.
Appears to be a race condition. LightDM attempts to start before
/dev/nvidiactrl is created. As a workaround add "sleep 1 && service
lightdm start" to /etc/rc.local to start the service.
### This workaround is insufficient. Some users have reported that
their systems do not start after initial user setup. Deleting the
contents of /var/run/dbus/* resolves the issue in these cases. ###
