lightdm fails to bringup display

[John Johansen]

As of todays update lightdm fails to bring up a display (console remains text). Switching to a vt logging in and killing and restarting lightdm has the same result. However manually starting gdm results in a gdm login screen which allows logging into the desktop.

No it appears it isn't. Marking it as a duplicate.
