Title:
  Cannot log on to Oneiric after fresh install

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I made a fresh install over Natty, keeping my home partition
  untouched. When booted, I feed my password to lightgdm and the screen
  goes black for a few seconds, then goes back to lightdm. I can do
  Ctrl+Alt+F1 and login via the shell, but not via the graphical login.
  Also, I can't stop or restart the machine from the graphical
  environment. I can log on normally to the guest account and I'm
  reporting this bug from there.

  I've tried reinstalling Oneiric but to no luck. I've tried dist-
  upgrade from the prompt but without success. I've tried purging and
  reinstalling lightdm and lightdm-gtk-greeter but that doesn't help
  either. Please help, or I'll have to reinstall Natty. Right now, this
  machine is in practice unusable.
