no login screen: problem with lightdm or plymouth?
- by a different ben
When I boot up my system, I don't get a login screen, just the boot log scrolling by, repeating after a while lines like this:
* Starting anac(h)ronistic cron [ OK ]
* Stopping anac(h)ronistic cron [ OK ]
I can change to another virtual terminal, and start lightdm from there with sudo lightdm restart or sudo start lightdm.
Other people with similar problems had just lightdm in their /etc/x11/default-display-manager. I've checked mine and it has /usr/sbin/lightdm in there, so that's not the problem.
