[Bug 1264807] [NEW] Kubuntu 14.04 freezes after LightDM login

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I have re-setup my notebook with Kubuntu 14.04. I have an nVidia Optimus
platform and hence wanting to try out kerne 3.12 with native switching
support. Also the whole system is encrypted with LUKS/dm-crypt.

At bootup I get nicely prompted for the LUKS key, I enter it and
afterwords I end up at LightDM. I provide the password there and then
the KDE screen appears on which different icons would appear within
seconds. However the computer freezes at that point - or rather the
display freezes.

I tried to ctrl-alt-f2 but that didn't open a terminal.

Upon suggestion, I then tried to ssh into the computer. That worked
fine.

So it seems there are graphic problems or something. In order to use
that installation I currently use the Saucy kernel.

While SSHing I made a backup of the whole /var/log folder. I don't know
which of them are relevenat but I can provide them when asked.

According the lshw I have:

product:	GF119M [GeForce GT 520M]
vendor:	NVIDIA Corporation

and

product:	2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller
vendor:	Intel Corporation
