Bug Description

Some Ubuntu users are reporting LightDM errors when using a SSD: about half the time when starting the computer, LightDM (the default Ubuntu display manager) doesn't load correctly and only a black screen and a blinking command line cursor shows up

Why is there no activity on this issue?
It is still relevant.
Tried the "sleep 2"-solution but the issue is still occuring sometimes.

This bug still exists on elementary OS too. I tried ssd and frequently got black tty login screen rather than lightdm. Switched back to HDD with no problems so far.
