If I knew where the problem lies ... sorry you might be right ... probably. This all is very confusing:
As far as I see the problem with lightdm starting correctly might be: 1. /var/run/dbus 2. wrong /etc/init/lightdm.conf 3. wrong ~/.dmrc entries 4. package lightdm-gtk-greeter not installed (probably more?) 5. somewhere I read something about plymounth involved !? A newly installed system workes out of the box, so this only affects updated systems. I will test this within the next days considering all aspects and comparing the test system with my actual installed system. This should be able to be resolved when updating an existing system ;) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/804171 Title: After latest upgrade of oneiric, Lightdm or Xserver not working Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: New Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: It seems that, after last upgrade of Oneiric made one hour ago, either Xserver or lightdm doesn't work anymore. Before the login screen Ubuntu prints out some state messages. The last one is "Checking battery state" (mine it is not a portable PC) I have to press Alt+F1, I logged in and wrote "startx". Gnome3 says "Failed to load session "gnome-fallback"" (my pc doesn't support neither Gnome-shell nor Unity3D) and pressing the only button Log Out terminal compares again. Is it possible to rollback last upgrade of Lightdm?
