good morning,



lightdm freezes often after I entered my passwort.
It hangs exactly saying "logging in...". It's no total system breakdown though.



I found out that there is already an existing bug report for that problem which affects a lot of people: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/986967



some people in Launchpad report that the problem may be caused by deactivating the login sound with Ubuntu Tweak. I've done that so it might be true.



There are 3 dupiclate question for this problem on askubuntu too:

Until the official bugfix will be released - which should be soon - there are several ways to fix this problem:




  1. Reactivating the login sound with Ubuntu Tweak (worked for me)


  2. Installing the official bugfix which is in the "precise-proposed" repository now. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed


  3. Switching to gdm as default display manager as indicated by sam until this problem is fixed.


  4. Changing nothing and doing the following when the problem occurs:




    1. Pressing Ctrl + Alt + F1

    2. Logging in as admin user

    3. sudo restart lightdm

    4. Trying to login in lightdm again

    5. Repeating 1., 3. and 4. until the login is successful




(I did a bit of research and I'm now able to answer my question myself. I hope it's no problem)
