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 Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/804171 Title: After latest upgrade of oneiric, Lightdm or Xserver not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/804171/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
