This issue seems a different one, could you open a new bug?

Sebastien.

great to read! you're welcome, so that one was an user config error

> the original issue of this bug - according to the initial log - should
be fixed by installing the lightdm-gtk-greeter package.

you mean from other users? yeah, the bug is a bit confusing because
different users joined to raise bugs which were different from the
original ones, we apparently get cases where the config list a greeter
not installed, it's not clear if those are from users who edited their
configuration and then uninstalled the greeter they choosed to use,
there is a bug open about having a failsafe mode for those though

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?
