Work around. If you have multiple users you can try hitting the up and down arrow keys to try and stop the crash from happening. It seems like something about the default selected user account being already selected is crashing it. Once navigated away from the user you can hen go back to that user and login normally.
The greeter still crashes post login. I believe this maybe related to wallpaper selected by user. Does greeter try and preload he users background image? What if its on an externally mounted device and not available prior to login ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/971437 Title: lightdm crash/loop after recent 12.04 beta updates To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/971437/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
