Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: lightdm

Oneiric i386 on nvidia (xorg-edgers)

got logged into xorg.log:

 xf86OpenConsole: setpgid failed: Operation not permitted
 xf86OpenConsole: setsid failed: Operation not permitted

i've found similar issue reported but against xdm/slim/wdm: Bug #585853 
#19 post seems to point the real problem:
- This appears to be caused by the lightdm package not integrating with upstart.
- The plymouth process which holds the console open is waiting for a signal 
that the lightdm job is starting up, so that it can let go of the console; but 
the lightdm package doesn't have an upstart job, so there's no signal sent, 
which means the plymouth and lightdm processes are fighting over the console.

Note: need to check that the above comments are correct
