Ubuntu 13.04
Intel SSD
i7 4770S
Using the processor graphics with the default driver.
I got the black screen with a white mouse cursor about a quarter the time on boot and finally discovered the machine wasn't broken/crappy by pressing CTRL-ALT-F1 to see if tty1 would work (previously I would just press reset when the black screen issue came up).
Is there some way to detect the error state and present an error message to the user instead of the black screen? A fix would be better but it would be nice if we could at least give a little feedback so users don't assume Ubuntu is broken.

I tried the sleep workaround here and have had good results so far (I used a 1 second delay): www.webupd8. org/2013/ 01/ubuntu- lightdm- black-screen- when-using. html
