Everytime I boot up my ubuntu 12.10, I get a black console screen.

I need to login in tty, and restart lightdm : sudo service lightdm restart

Then the GUI lightdm login screen appears as expected.

How to solve this annoying problem ?

Thank you.

This issue could be related to the use of a SSD.

If the first solution doesn't work for you, another workaround is to delay the startup of lightdm.

sudo nano /etc/init/lightdm.conf

and just BEFORE exec lightm, insert this single line :

sleep 2

Adjust the time (in seconds) depending on your needs (2 sec works for me). Save the file, and restart !
