Hello,

On a fresh install of 12.04 64 bits with two users, if i choose a default wallpaper in the list or if i choose an independant wallpaper, lightdm loop on the next boot. When i encode my password twice, the connexion loops too and the session refuse to start. Next boot, the bug disapears. It is hazardous but frequently.
