I had installed gdm but, still kept lightdm as my display manager. However it would never boot into Precise 12.04 after I installed it because sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm only put "lightdm" in /etc/X11/default-display-manager instead of "/usr/sbin/lightdm" as it should have. Thus, lightdm would not startup at bootup. If it weren't for Paddy Landau's workaround to gain r/w access in recovery mode I would have never been able to recover without doing another install.
I hope you fix this soon. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/996454 Title: Recovery Mode starts in read-only, does not mount home folder, and hangs when trying to do something To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/friendly-recovery/+bug/996454/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
