Title:
  lightdm does not start on boot

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I've helped a friend update his computer from natty to oneiric.  After
  that was accomplished, Ubuntu which I'd praised gleefully embarassed
  itself by failing to show a login screen.  Apparently, these days
  lightdm is the login manager of choice.  I had to put the following
  into root's crontab to make sure lightdm does come up.

  @reboot sleep 22; service lightdm stop;service lightdm start

  unity-greeter is installed.
