i finally was able to get a GUI login screen after i logged in via
ALT+F2.
i installed lightdm and gdm.
i set lightdm to be used ("dpkg-reconfigure lightdm")
i typed in "sudo lightdm"
it didnt work. no error message - just brought me back to the original
boot-text screen
ALT-F2
"sudo reboot now"
Still didnt work.
ALT-F2
i set gdm to be used
i typed "sudo gdm"
Login screen works!
rebooted
GDM showed up!
So, basically, lightdm did not work at all for me (its ok, i prefer gdm anyways)
But I need to have it installed for GDM to work (which was not the case for
11.10).
Without lightdm, i could not get GDM to work, even when configured to
use GDM.
