[Launchpad Bug Tracker <871667@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was fixed in the package lightdm - 1.0.6-0ubuntu1

---------------
lightdm (1.0.6-0ubuntu1) oneiric-proposed; urgency=low

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * debian/lightdm.upstart: Put back check for "text" in kernel command line,
    for inhibiting automatic lightdm start. Check $JOB to still allow a manual
    "start lightdm" command to work. (LP: #873334)

  [ Robert Ancell ]
  * New upstream release:
    - Use lchown for correcting ownership of ~/.Xauthority instead of chown

lightdm (1.0.5-0ubuntu1) oneiric-proposed; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
    [1.0.5]
    - Relax AppArmor guest profile to allow compiz to start
    - Connect up VNC settings for width, height, depth
    [1.0.4]
    - Fix --enable-gtk-greeter=yes not working
    - Fix X sessions with arguments in Exec not working

      one. (LP: #834515)
    - Correct ownership of ~/.Xauthority if upgrading from buggy version of
      LightDM that had it root owned. (LP: #871667)
    - Set default resolution of VNC to 1024x768, add settings for width, height,
      depth into lightdm.conf.
    - AppArmor profile: Fix broken gnome-keyring and dbus/gwibber, and quiesce
      annoying kernel audit messages for privileges that we definitively do not
      want to grant. (LP: #877736) (LP: #874635)
    - Set LOGNAME environment variable (LP: #875705)
    - Mark strings as translatable in GTK greeter (LP: #868613)
    [ 1.0.3]
    - Fix reference counting issue in ConsoleKit code
    - Really add the lightdm-guest-session-wrapper
    [ 1.0.2 ]
    - Fix daemon from blocking if Accounts Service does not exist
    - Fix greeter log file not being written
    - Don't set LANG environment variable if using Accounts Service.
    - Fix gdmflexiserver not working due to it not being in PATH
    - Don't authenticate the greeter user
    - Allow greeters to be disabled in configure flags
    - Fix over allocation of read buffer in greeter protocol
    - Make sure objects are cleaned up on exit
    - Fix minor memory leaks
    - Fix hugely oversized allocation in greeter buffer.  Can trigger
      crashes when entering very long passwords.
  * debian/patches/00bzr_guest_session_wrapper.diff:
  * debian/patches/07_long_password_crash.patch:
  * debian/patches/08_correct_ck_ref.patch:
    - Applied upstream

Bug description:
  Each time I upgrade to a newer ubuntu on a particular machine, something breaks. Last time I was unable to log in via GDM and I have to reinstall the machine. This time, I upgraded to oneiric today, and, of course, lightdm cannot start unity nor unity-2d: after entering a correct password it just restarts itself.
