After upgrading my kernel (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1198210), i see now that the text which briefly flashes across the screen during the 'crash' after attempting to login is:

Same bug?

Brad Figg, any improvement on this for you with Trusty/latest mainline kernel?

[Ian Ohr (ian-ohr)]

I have experienced this bug on.

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=14.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=trusty
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS"

Ubuntu 3.13.0-40.69-generic 3.13.11.10

I have just switched to the nVidia Proprietary driver as it's happened about four times.
I've attached an exceprt of my /var/log/syslog from when it happened.
