Same issue for me after fresh install of 11.10 64bit.

I only have this issue on an Asrock H61M/U3S3 Motherboard with onboard
Intel graphics (if this matters), other desktops/laptops with nvidia or
ati seem to work fine.

The strange thing is that it sometimes does work correctly, I'd say 3/4
times it fails to show the login screen.

It stops at "Checking battery state"

CTRL-ALT-F1, logging in and running "sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm restart"
works every time, but is very annoying to say the least.

What I have tried so far:

- install lightdm-gtk-greeter (was not installed)
- install unity-greeter (was already installed)
- sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm (same errors as in comment 6)
- sudo rm -r /var/run/dbus; dbus-daemon --system
- removing the ~/.Xauthority file
- reinstalling/replacing nvidia drivers is no option since this is intel, but it is suggested many times

I did check some logs, but am not sure where to look and if this is
related:

- /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log - Stopping X local seat, failed to start a display
- /var/log/lightdm/x-0-greeter.log - WARNING: unity-greeter: Fatal IO error 11 on X server :0.
- /var/log/Xorg.0.log - No screens found

Looked up the intel graphics specs:

lspci | grep VGA

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core
Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)

I would like to see this solved, so if anyone needs more information,
just let me know and I will do my best to gather it for you.

Title:
  System hangs during boot with "Checking battery state" on screen

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After some digging it appears that lightdm isn't starting properly.
  One fix appears to be Ctrl+Alt+F1,user and password and startx but I
  fixed it by switching to using GDM - sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow gdm.

  This happened after I ran updates on Wednesday of this week.
