I SSHed in and did my daily sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo stop gdm sudo start lightdm sudo stop lightdm sudo start gdm
hoping that I do not need to run the last two commands this time, but unfortunately, lightdm did not come up and so I also ran these last two commands. So here is my "sudo ls /var/lib/lightdm/ -al": till@till:~$ sudo ls /var/lib/lightdm/ -al ls: cannot access /var/lib/lightdm/.gvfs: Permission denied total 44 drwxr-x--- 10 lightdm lightdm 4096 2011-08-27 09:58 . drwxr-xr-x 85 root root 4096 2011-08-19 09:11 .. drwx------ 3 lightdm lightdm 4096 2011-07-21 20:49 .cache drwx------ 4 lightdm lightdm 4096 2011-08-24 23:42 .config drwx------ 3 lightdm lightdm 4096 2011-07-21 20:49 .dbus -rw------- 1 lightdm lightdm 16 2011-07-21 20:49 .esd_auth drwxr-xr-x 2 lightdm lightdm 4096 2011-07-30 18:39 .fontconfig drwx------ 2 lightdm lightdm 4096 2011-08-25 19:43 .gconf d????????? ? ? ? ? ? .gvfs drwxrwxr-x 3 lightdm lightdm 4096 2011-08-24 23:44 .local drwx------ 2 lightdm lightdm 4096 2011-08-25 19:43 .pulse -rw------- 1 lightdm lightdm 256 2011-07-21 20:49 .pulse-cookie -rw------- 1 lightdm lightdm 0 2011-08-27 09:58 .Xauthority till@till:~$ Same as Yougo in comment #17.
