Public bug reported:
In previous Ubuntu releases I was able to have any kind of graphical or
commandline environment without installing GDM, KDM, LXDM, SLiM, or any
other graphical login manager. In Natty however it will not boot without
one. I noticed this problem after upgrading a machine and it refusing to
boot, only finally booting after I entered recovery mode (which allowed
me to login as I had previously, strangely) and installing GDM in this
case.
What happens instead of a login prompt is simply a flashing cursor that
comes up after Ubuntu plymouth animation. I've checked this on numerous
machines, including in VIrtualBox OSE and it's the same result.
