So I think the main error is: [+0.23s] DEBUG: Starting session unity-greeter as user lightdm [+0.23s] DEBUG: Failed to load session file /usr/share/xgreeters/unity-greeter.desktop: No such file or directory: [+0.23s] DEBUG: Failed to start greeter [+0.23s] DEBUG: Stopping display
(There is also: (==) Using system config directory "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d" (EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0) (II) [KMS] Kernel modesetting enabled. ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log but I'm guessing it's not the main one). So can you see if you have /usr/share/xgreeters/unity-greeter.desktop ? Can you check if you have the unity-greeter package installed ?

This steps drive me to a system in which lightdm does not start. I can try to start it via tty1[2...6] but it did not start. What I expected to happen is that lightdm starts and greets me. What happened instead is that it does not start. Procedure to repeat: 1- Install gnome-session-fallback package 2- Remove completely gnome-session-fallback package 3- Restart computer PS: English is not my native language so it is possible for me to make mistakes.
