This bug affects me also. I have not tried Ciprian's one line fix. My logs are attached.

Status in Upstart: Confirmed Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Sometimes lightdm comes up fine. Other times it appears to fail. x-0.log shows it tried to load 'nv' (rather than 'nvidia' which is what actually exists). When I then log into console and 'start lightdm', it comes up fine (on :1). I've not had it come up ok today, so I don't know if, when it comes up fine, it starts on :0. No idea if the lightdm.conf needs a change to 'start on'clause, or if this is just a case of a bad shipped config file (for module 'nv').
