I run Ubuntu 14.04 and the workaround in #127 seems to have fixed it for
me, thanks Ciprian.

The fact that this is still happening on Ubuntu 14.04 is pretty shocking
- I know LightDM and Upstart are effectively deprecated in favour of
SDDM and systemd in the newer versions, but since this is such a high-
impact bug affecting so many users it really should be fixed in the LTS
versions.

Title:
  lightdm tries (and fails) to start too early?

Status in upstart :
  Confirmed
Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Sometimes lightdm comes up fine.  Other times it appears to fail.
  x-0.log shows it tried to load 'nv' (rather than 'nvidia' which is
  what actually exists).  When I then log into console and 'start
  lightdm', it comes up fine (on :1).

  I've not had it come up ok today, so I don't know if, when it comes up
  fine, it starts on :0.  No idea if the lightdm.conf needs a change to
  'start on'clause, or if this is just a case of a bad shipped config
  file (for module 'nv').
