I have experienced the same bug when upgrading my lubuntu 12.04 to 12.10. Impossible to log into the system, there is in an infinite loop and the login screen never appears. Cannot loginto console neither.
My computer is an old pentium III with sis 630/730 graphics card, 512 MB Ram from which 64 MB go for the graphics card. 20 GB HDD. This computer worked well with lubuntu 12.04. Please Yuri.Kornilov (yuqi) could give step by step instructions in order to get into lubuntu 12.10 system?

After the upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 MACH64 video driver crashes, causing infinite loop at boot: starting desktop manager, X server crash, restarting desktop manager, X server crash, restarting desktop manager, X server crash, etc. It is impossible even to switch to text console. I found a workaround - booting in rescue mode, mounting filesystem read-write and creating the file containing lines ------------------------------ Section "Device" Identifier "Default device" Option "NoAccel" EndSection ------------------------------ in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d stops the crashes of X server and allows to boot desktop environment. But doing without video acceleration on a slow machine is not a good thing. I hope it will be possible to find the bug (in 12.04 this video driver worked OK).
