Comment 57 for bug 1070150

Just wanted to mention that I ordered a new 512GB Samsung 840 Pro SSD, for my ThinkPad X220, in anticipation of installing 13.04 from scratch. And I can confirm what everyone else is saying.

The reboot after the installation hung. I powered down and powered it up again, and it hung at a black screen with a working arrow pointer. You can imagine that sinking feeling I got. I powered it off again and this time I was able to login. Immediately got a crash notification once I logged in, but without any real information as to why. Rebooted again (just to see), and this time it locked up at a screen with the error message "The system is running in low graphics mode" on a black background. Powered down again, probably got a black screen + cursor a few times, but eventually was able to log in. So it's been a pretty disappointing first impression, but otherwise, Ringtail has been Raring.

I found the advice to add some sleep to /etc/init/lightdm.conf, added some, and so far (a 2-3 reboots) I haven't had any issues.
