** Description changed:

  Since some days lightdm fails to come up again after logging out of
  Unity.
  
  I get thrown at VT7 with its startup messages, and when trying to
  restart the lightdm service, eventually the following shows up in
  /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
  
-     Cannot open virtual console 7 (Input/output error)
+     Cannot open virtual console 7 (Input/output error)
  
- It works fine using gdm, so there is something in the logout or respawn
- process that gdm can handle, while lightdm cannot.
+ Using GDM instead of Lightdm, "Log out" fails in the same manner, but I
+ can restart gdm to get back at the login screen.
+ 
+ There appears to be something broken in the logout or respawn process
+ that gdm can handle (better), while lightdm cannot.
