If it ain't broken why the F..K fix it. Locked out to, Can't even do updates!
Love Ubuntu but this goes to far! I am not a tecky so is 10 times harder for me
to fix it. I didn't like windows because of the hacking now I don't like thise
who program updates just for the sake of issuing an update.
#31 (uninstall lightdm install gdm) worked for me. Mine didn't come
from the update last fall, rather from creating a second user account
and making it automatic login (my own administrator account not being
automatic login). Deleting the second user account didn't fix the
problem, which I
Just made a clean 64bit install from alternate (for RAID and LVM) same
problem.
Solved by
sudo apt-get remove lightdm
sudo apt-get install gdm
reboot in recovery mode
add myself to sudo group (/etc/group and /etc/gshadow)
reboot normally
sudo apt-get install lightdm
sudo apt-get
Still have the bug with latests updates. Lost control of login admin,
drives, etc for the master account.

The easiest fix is to switch to GDM
Run these commands:
sudo apt-get remove lightdm
sudo apt-get install gdm
Then reboot.

had the same issues. Or it worked, but the update after that put them

FYI:
I did the edit of lightdm.conf and that caused problems (no window
manager?!?). I then switched to gdm and everything worked. After

I got the same problems after upgrading to Oneiric (no mount, shutdown,

This bug starts to s*ck royally:
After the latest update, I am back were I was - I can NOT mount any

no CD, no USB stick, no nothing can be mounted by users.

Folks,
I am also experiencing these problems described by Ian Jefferies on 2011-09-15:
1. Attempting to shutdown fails. Instead, it sends me back to the account
login. Thus I can quit only by a physical power off of the PC -- which is
pretty hard on it.

none of the proposed solutions helped. I didn't have an autologin line
in my lightdm.conf, so

I forgot to point to a workaround you can use until the bug gets fixed:
remove lightdm and (re)install gdm (like in Ubuntu 11.04) as display
manager. Open a terminal and enter: 'sudo apt-get remove lightdm' and
