If it ain't broken why the F..K fix it. Locked out to, Can't even do updates!
Love Ubuntu but this goes to far! I am not a tecky so is 10 times harder for me
to fix it. I didn't like windows because of the hacking now I don't like thise

#31 (uninstall lightdm install gdm) worked for me. Mine didn't come
from the update last fall, rather from creating a second user account
and making it "automatic login" (my own administrator account not being
automatic login). Deleting the second user account didn't fix the
problem, which I susp

The easiest fix is to switch to GDM
Run these commands:
sudo apt-get remove lightdm
sudo apt-get install gdm
Then reboot.

I got the same problems after upgrading to Oneiric (no mount, shutdown,

I am also experiencing these problems described by Ian Jefferies on 2011-09-15:
