Same problem here (12.10 64Bit). Restarting lightdm didn't work for me. All I got was this black screen with a blinking cursor. To get to a working desktop anyway, I (temporarily) switched to gdm by doing:
1. [alt+f1] 2. $ sudo apt-get install gdm 3. restart machine. when gdm loginscreen comes up, select ubuntu (instead of system defaults). To switch back to ligthdm, when its working again, you can run: $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1066410 Title: lightdm doesn't load correctly on Ubuntu 12.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1066410/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
