Public bug reported:
Since latest updates lightdm does not start any desktop environment.
After loging in a blank screen (if you had set a desktop background the
desktop background) is shown. No window manager, no session manager gets
started.
To start a desktop environment you'll have to switch to a console (CTRL-ALT-F1).
Login with your username and password.
Give "sudo service lightdm stop".
After lightdm is stopped you can start your desktop environment with
"startx".
