Bug description:
  Text mode hits in for about a half a second every time one logs out or
  shuts down the computer. UPDATE: log out part fixed in lightdm in
  Ubuntu 13.04 ->, shut down problem still there.

  The attached video "Text-mode in logout and shutdown.webm" is a
  combination of two clips showing this on one of my computers. This one
  has slightly more text output than my other machines, but on every
  machine it catches attention by being ugly and I'd guess "cryptic" or
  suspicious for ordinary people in the otherwise smooth experience
  starting from the bootup ubuntu logo.

  Tested on up-to-date Ubuntu 12.04 on an Intel IGD graphics netbook,
  Intel Sandy Bridge laptop and Radeon HD 4670 (open drivers) desktop
  machine. The video is from the sandy bridge one.
