Title:
  Lightdm fails to start up after updates

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I've not been using this laptop for a while, but then I did, installed
  updates, rebooted, and ever since I'm running into failsafe X. I made
  some changes in between trying to see whether they would help it to
  load up (such as explicitly defining the driver in xorg.conf) but
  those didn't change the situation.

  I'm stuck now, not sure what to do, and would appreciate some hints. I
  asked for help in #ubuntu but since I don't know what exactly the
  problem is we didn't get anywhere really. If there's anything I can do
  to provide more information please let me know.

  This may be an issue related to gdm actually, since the only error
  message I can find now is in /var/log/gdm/:0.log:

  Fatal server error:
  Server is already active for display 0
          If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
          and start again.

  
  Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support 
           at http://wiki.x.org
   for help.

  /var/log/gdm/:0.log (END)

  
  But maybe I missed something in the other relevant logs...
