Comment 44 for bug 1386005

I reported this bug too and it was marked as a duplicate. I thought I'd add my description in case it helps. I'm seeing some really strange behavior, not as critical as it not booting at all, but it is counter intuitive. When I boot, the screen appears blank until I press the down arrow key (regular keys don't seem to do anything), at which point the screen shows a command line password box. Pressing the key again shows the regular gui. This affects a fresh install of Ubuntu Mate 14.10. Watch the attached video to see what I have to do each boot.
