I have the same bug, only the downgrade to the previous lightdm version (1.0.6-0ubuntu1.1) in synaptic helped. This didn't: -install lightdm-gtk-greeter -check whether unity-greeter was installed (it was) -sudo aticonfig --initial --force -sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm -sudo rm -r /var/run/dbus; dbus-daemon --system

One fix appears to be Ctrl+Alt+F1,user and password and startx but I fixed it by switching to using GDM - sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow gdm. This happened after I ran updates on Wednesday of this week.
