[Bug 1374002] Re: After installing nvidia binary drivers lightdm does not start after reboot

 

That was actually a bug in udev (now part of systemd) which dropped an
upstart script for the case of "alternate" graphics devices. This was
fixed now.

** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Released

Title:
  After installing nvidia binary drivers lightdm does not start after
  reboot

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Could be a duplicate of bug #873495 which has not, yet, gone past
  "triaged" status. But it has not been updated since last year and this
  just happened to me trying 14.10 (Utopic).

  Before installing the binary drivers, the nouveau driver was in use
  and lightdm started automatically. But then would crash the whole
  system somehow related to fading in popup menues. But that is another
  problem. Since the binary drivers are installed the system only boots
  into text mode. But is more stable after manually starting lightdm.
