Title:
  greeter doesn't start "failed to load session file"

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
