[Bug 972708] Re: User login screen does not appear during boot

[peterzay]

As a further test of comment #3, when I type CTRL+ALT+F1, I get TTY.

There, I login with admin user account.

Then I type "sudo gdm start" and get the following messages:

** (gdm-binary:1910): WARNING **: Failed to acquire
org.gnome.DisplayManager

** (gdm-binary:1910): WARNING **: Could not acquire name; bailing out

As this point, I logout and hold the main power button to shutdown the
machine.  Upon reboot, an automatic recovery process occurs.

Hope this helps clarify the problem.

Title:
  User login screen does not appear during boot

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The user login screen does not appear during the boot process.  The
  system hangs.  No keyboard interaction helps.

  However, it is possible to "exit" to the TTY and login there to
  command line mode.

  This is not reproducible and occurred for the first time during the
  previous boot attempt.
