In the past week or two, cosmic has failed to finish booting in about half of all cases (on multiple machines). The problem is that the graphical login screen never appears. Instead the machine stays on a text console.
WORKAROUND:
I can force the system to finish booting and make the login screen appear just by switching VTs and back:
Ctrl+Alt+F4, Ctrl+Alt+F1
Then within a second or so the login screen appears.
