I am effected by this issue as well.  It occurred on a brand new laptop
this morning and nearly drove me crazy trying to figure it out.  I ended
up installing gdm and can now get to the log in screen.  I'll leave it
like this for the time being since it is working...lol

Bug description:
  The ubuntu-desktop does not depend on unity-greeter.  The lightdm
  package recommends unity-greeter, but it is possible to upgrade and
  have lightdm installed (which ubuntu-desktop does depend on) but no
  greeter installed.  Unity greeter is a part of unity and should be a
  dependency on ubuntu-desktop.
