Public bug reported:

As of today, lightdm on oneiric doesn't show a login screen.  I have
verified the greeters are installed so this is different to bug 816646.
The most likely lines in the log seem to be

  Failed to load session file /usr/share/xgreeters/.desktop: No such file or directory
  Failed to start greeter 
  Stopping display

I'm just left at a text screen with various stair-stepped log messages.
