Bug Description
Xubuntu 15.10
lightdm 1.16.4
Expected behaviour: At boot login screen appears and user can input password to reach desktop.
What happened instead: Boot login screen, approximately 1 second after appearing, flashes to black and then returns. Input appears to be interrupted often resulting in having to re-input user password.

Im an idiot, its 15.10 not 15.04. The problem does not appear to affect previous versions of xubuntu on any of my hardware configurations.
