won't show login screen

[Trevor Wermund]

If I plug in and and remove an external monitor it will make the login manager show up. Also, random crashes happen while using flash for youtube.

Both X and lightdm are reporting a normal shutdown. Can you please attach ~/.xsession-errors and see if you can find a log file for unity?

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[rhpot1991 (rhpot1991)]

I have this same issue on my Dell XPS 13 ultrabook with Intel HD 4000 graphics. I believe that the 3.8.0-19 kernel is causing the issue, if I boot to a previously installed kernel everything works fine. Using the 3.8.0-19 kernel I get nothing on the laptop screen, if I plug something into the display port I will get a X session there. Using the function key to switch between displays does not result in anything being displayed on the laptop screen.

[Chris Wilson (ickle)]

rhpot1991 - no, this is not your bug.

[Trevor Wermund (twermund)]

I also have the XPS and have found that the above technique resolves the
issue entirely.

  Trevor

Hmm? I am after the random crashes.

[Trevor Wermund (twermund)]

The random crashes stop occurring when I switch kernel versions.

[Brad Figg (brad-figg)]

This change was made by a bot.

[rhpot1991 (rhpot1991)]

I tested with the mainline kernels. Both 3.8.9 and 3.8.10 work properly. 3.8.8 shows the same results as Ubuntu's 3.8.0-19.

[Trevor Wermund (twermund)]

I've stopped having these issues

Trevor, what have you done to fix the issues, are you still using an older kernel or back to 3.8.0-19?

[Trevor Wermund (twermund)]

I'm using 3.8.0-19. All issues seem to have stopped.

I don't understand how you are getting around the blank screen issue, there haven't been any updates to the kernel so the issue itself still exists.

[Trevor Wermund (twermund)]

I have been installing updates in raring frequently. Has there been an
update to lightDM?

I'm up to date with everything except raring-proposed enabled, and the issue still affects me. Do you have proposed enabled?

Yeah, I'm running raring-proposed.

No new packages for me in raring-proposed, I am at a loss.
