Bug Description

Running yesterday's trusty. On reboot, lightdm appears but typing does work. Am unable to enter anything in the password field, or press up/down to change user.

If in a VT I do "sudo restart lightdm" then I can log in.

I've seen it occasionally too. My guess it's either unity-greeter or Xorg doing something wrong.
