Bug Description
I made a fresh install over Natty, keeping my home partition untouched. When booted, I feed my password to lightgdm and the screen goes black for a few seconds, then goes back to lightdm. I can do Ctrl+Alt+F1 and login via the shell, but not via the graphical login. Also, I can't stop or restart the machine from the graphical environment. I can log on normally to the guest account and I'm reporting this bug from there.
I've tried reinstalling Oneiric but to no luck. I've tried dist-upgrade from the prompt but without success. I've tried purging and reinstalling lightdm and lightdm-gtk-greeter but that doesn't help either. Please help, or I'll have to reinstall Natty. Right now, this machine is in practice unusable.
