Lenovo x230 fails to get into login mode after reboot - just purple screen or sometimes login w fprint and same purple screen

[omarly666]

"Fresh" install, /home kept, via "Other " on install from usb

Powering off gets me into sleep mode, power button configured to only on/off.
More on/off gets real shut down.
I have to go through safe mode, and have not found what gets it working. Last time I did all, and had to reboot again, because of same issue.

This is a duplicate of bug #1240336

I resolved it by installing gnome-system-tools and changed my status of group from "custom" to "admin"
