Bug Description
After an upgrade from ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10, I was no more able to login with my usual account.
Lightdm failed to load x session.
After a long search, I understood that the problem was coming from ubuntu-2d xsession.
My user account was configured to use unbuntu-2d when i was in ubuntu 12.04.
But as this xsession has been removed in ubuntu 12.10, lightdm failed to load it.
I managed to fix my problem doing following steps :
- edit my user file with gedit in this folder :
/var/lib/
- replace "XSession=
- reboot ubuntu for the file modification to be taken in account.
In my opinion, this fix should be applied automatically for all users using ubuntu-2d and upgrading their distribution.

Yes, that would be better.
Please run from terminal
apport-collect 1059137
this will bring up the logs that help to handle the ticket.
When there are missing libraries (launchpadlib) please install them in addtion to run the above command.
I let the status to new(and not incomplete), but the apport collect is mostly really needed.
