Public bug reported:
After upgrading to 11.10, lxdm (LXDE) failed to start at boot making
lubuntu enter directly to text-mode.
A couple of related bugs were filled (#854329, #854837, #694896) but
none of them fixed my problem.
After digging around I found that the upstart job /etc/init/lxdm.conf
ran and stopped inmmediatly. A couple of weeks later (BTW, upstart debug
log sucks!), I found that in this file there's a condition that checks
the content of /etc/X11/default-display-manager (line 28) and expects to
found "/usr/sbin/lxdm". In my case, the content of the file was "lxdm"
therefore the condition was not satisfied and lxdm failed to start
(actually it was being forced to stop).
After changing the content of /etc/X11/default-display-manager to
"/usr/sbin/lxdm", lxdm (LXDE) started to work at boot time showing login
screen as expected.
I never changed /etc/X11/default-display-manager manually, so I guess
that either that file is not set always with full path of executable or
the upgrade process failed to update the file content properly.
