[Bug 992584] Re: Lightdm displays running in low resolution box upon booting

[Steve Kemsley]

I have fixed this by adding a sleep 10 to the upstart script that starts
X11 its here : /etc/rcS.d/S70x11-common so far the GUI comes up every
time will monitor further, currently testing on 20+ systems.

** Package changed: ubuntu => upstart (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Lightdm displays running in low resolution box upon booting

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Upon booting or rebooting the lightdm greeter displays a box that says
  the screen is running in low resolution mode and offers to allow you
  to reconfigure graphics.

  if you CTRL-ALT-F1 and login then "sudo killall xinit" followed by
  "service lightdm start" the normal login screen is then displayed.

  The low resolution issue does not always happen as most of the time it
  goes to the normal login box, but it has periods where is happens
  frequently / all the time.

  Looks like a timing issue when booting (possibly) We are running 64GB
  SSD's so booting is quite rapid.

  12.04 Ubuntu AMD64
  Intel i5 2400 4GB ram
