"Starting version 219" after kernel upgrade to 3.19.0-18

  • 772

Today after kernel upgrade from 3.19.0-16 to 3.19.0-18 lightdm fails to start.

GPU driver is fglrx installed from "Additional drivers" tab of "Software & updates".

Try to enable service by running

sudo systemctl enable lightdm.service -f

doesn't help because service failed to start. See syslog:

Choosing grub boot option of previous 3.19.0-16 kernel - system boots normally.

How to fix, please?

    Today after next set of kernel updates the issue has gone. Now Ubuntu 15.04 boots normally.
