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

[LGB [Gábor Lénárt] (lgb)]

I have a problem described in bug 1434396 that is: Xserver does not start on boot, and the low graphics mode dialog is presented instead, though if I exit to console and start lightdm service "by hand" it works. After logging in, bug report dialog on X crash appears and that brings me to this report.

[LGB [Gábor Lénárt] (lgb)]

I have this bug only with systemd, choosing upstart everything is OK, again please read my comment at bug 1434396
