So I think the main error is:

[+0.23s] DEBUG: Starting session unity-greeter as user lightdm
[+0.23s] DEBUG: Failed to load session file /usr/share/xgreeters/unity-greeter.desktop: No such file or directory:
[+0.23s] DEBUG: Failed to start greeter
[+0.23s] DEBUG: Stopping display

(There is also:
(==) Using system config directory "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d"
(EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0)
(II) [KMS] Kernel modesetting enabled.
 ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log

but I'm guessing it's not the main one).

So can you see if you have /usr/share/xgreeters/unity-greeter.desktop   ? Can you check if you have 
the unity-greeter package installed ?

Title:
  lightdm starts neither on startup nor via tty

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After a regular upgrade on Ubuntu 11.10 Unity 2D session, I installed
  gnome-session-fallback package, then removed it (#apt-get purge gnome-
  session-fallback). This steps drive me to a system in which lightdm
  does not start. I can try to start it via tty1[2...6] but it did not
  start.

  What I expected to happen is that lightdm starts and greets me.

  What happened instead is that it does not start.

  Procedure to repeat:

  1- Install gnome-session-fallback package
  2- Remove completely gnome-session-fallback package
  3- Restart computer

  PS: English is not my native language so it is possible for me to make
  mistakes.
