Bug Description
GDM was used instead of lightdm, so I uninstalled it (sudo aptitude remove gdm), it told me to uninstall also gdm-guest-session. And it told me to run "dpkg-reconfigure lightdm". But it fails, so I have to manually launch "sudo lightdm" from TTY1 to log in.
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
dpkg-maintscrip
dpkg-maintscrip
