I was affected by this issue as well. That is, I upgraded from natty to oneiric release and upon reboot no X server started. The last message on the console was "Checking battery state", but I expect that's just the last init script that ran and unrelated to this issue. The problem was that no DM was starting even though I could start both lightdm & gdm manually.
After reading the comments in this bug, I ran "dpkg-reconfigure lightdm" and chose lightdm as my DM. This resolved my issue with no other steps required. Fwiw, I was not prompted to choose a DM by the release upgrade process. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/804171 Title: After latest upgrade of oneiric, Lightdm or Xserver not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/804171/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
