Hi Sebastien,

[1]
cat /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[SeatDefaults]
greeter-session=unity-greeter

[2]
sudo dpkg -l unity-greeter
ii  unity-greeter                            0.1.1-0ubuntu1 

If I remember right, unity-greeter was installed as a dempendency via
aptitude ?!

What I found weird in /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log was this line:
WARNING: Failed to open log file /var/log/lightdm/x-0-greeter.log: Permission denied

What else do you think might be not OK?

I have to mention that I started everything in a console (TTY1) via
Strg+Alt+F1 this way:

[logout of gdm session]
sudo service gdm stop
sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm -> lightdm
sudo service lightdm  start

Title:
  After latest upgrade of oneiric, Lightdm or Xserver not working

Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:
  New
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  It seems that, after last upgrade of Oneiric made one hour ago, either Xserver or lightdm doesn't work anymore.
  Before the login screen Ubuntu prints out some state messages. The last one is "Checking battery state" (mine it is not a portable PC)
  I have to press Alt+F1, I logged in and wrote "startx". Gnome3 says "Failed to load session "gnome-fallback"" (my pc doesn't support neither Gnome-shell nor Unity3D) and pressing the only button Log Out terminal compares again.
  Is it possible to rollback last upgrade of Lightdm?
