Very frustrated I couldn't find this bug report. After upgrading to 11.10 I could not get the display to work. After a day of this I finally discovered that by changing the default-display- manager in /etc/X11 to usr/sbin/gdm instead of lightdm I could log in. I'm just delighted the system works now. I'll leave lightdm troubleshooting to another day if at all. Aaaarrrrrggggg.
I suggest the title be changed to reflect a lowercase "el" for lightdm instead of uppercase "L". Perhaps it could then be located in the searches. ** Summary changed: - After latest upgrade of oneiric, Lightdm or Xserver not working + After latest upgrade of oneiric, Lightdm (lightdm) or Xserver not working -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/804171 Title: After latest upgrade of oneiric, Lightdm (lightdm) or Xserver not working Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Invalid Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: It seems that, after last upgrade of Oneiric made one hour ago, either Xserver or lightdm doesn't work anymore. Before the login screen Ubuntu prints out some state messages. The last one is "Checking battery state" (mine it is not a portable PC) I have to press Alt+F1, I logged in and wrote "startx". Gnome3 says "Failed to load session "gnome-fallback"" (my pc doesn't support neither Gnome-shell nor Unity3D) and pressing the only button Log Out terminal compares again. Is it possible to rollback last upgrade of Lightdm?
