Bug Description
I have tried diferant display managers (kdm nd lightdm) both are effected sometims whn my sister turns on her netbook she can't type in her password untill she puts th cmpute to sleep and wakes it up again, this seems to be randome, from what I have been able to fine from googling all over the place plymouth is to blame for this, seems to be if it is still running when whateverdm starts you will not bable to type.
on my own laptop I have had the same problem and was able to fix it by adding a sleep 2 before exec lightdm in /etc/init/
my sisters netbook needed more then that, he delay got to 6 seconds long and still wasn't reliable, I had to modify /etc/default/grub to ass text after splash then put service lightdm restart in rc.local so she could login most of the time.
she has had the problem in 14.04 and now in 14.10, I have had it sense 13.04

plymouth and the DM do not run at the same time. The upstart jobs are carefully structured to ensure that plymouth is always stopped before the DM is started. This bug is unreproducible for the vast majority of users, and I don't know what information to ask you for to try to debug this. Do you have any modified upstart jobs under /etc/init, or have you removed any job files from this system?
