[Bug 880714] [NEW] X startup failure with lightdm

 

Public bug reported:

LightDM fails with the nvidia-current package and ends up at a terminal
screen with a failure from plymouth and lightdm. I did a workaround and
installed GDM and chose that over lightdm and subsequently the reboot
took me right back to the GDM login screen and GPU acceleration was
working with the nvidia-current drivers.
