Public bug reported:
After upgrading to 11.10 today, the computer didn't start anymore. After
the "ubuntu loading screen" with the dots, the display reverted to a
text screen, ending in some information about "battery status".
After logging in on tty1, I could start gdm as a workaround.
The problem is twofold. First, /var/log/lightdm/x-0.log (and I think
/var/log/lighdm/lightdm.log as well) complained about insufficient privileges
to create /var/log/lightdm/x-0-greeter.log. After `chown lightdm
/var/log/lightdm" said file was created (when restarting lightdm) containing
the single line
exec: 33: unity-greeter: not found
If this happened to a new user, they would be lost!
PS: unity-greeter is installed to /usr/sbin/, but that is not in the
path apparently)
