Public bug reported:
I've just upgraded my desktop from Ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10 (32 bit).
Everything works fine till the lightdm login screen: after I gave my
password nothing happened, and login screen was not responsive either.
Switching back to text console, I noticed that several things (which
usually run in a unity session) runs. But where? Then I had the odd idea
that maybe it runs on the "headless" X server, xserver-xephyr or xvfb or
so. Since only xserver-xephyr was installed, I removed that package.
Stopping then starting lightdm service, after removing xserver-xephyr
cured the problem. Now I am curious if it's worth to report or not, that
it seems xserver-xephyr became the default X server somehow during the
upgrade.
