Public bug reported: Hi,
My laptop was newly installed with 13.04 amd64 ubuntu CD. It was working. Since I like KDE I installed kubuntu-desktop and got debfoster to help me remove the packages I no longer needed. After this change the lightdm looked odd (and still unity-like, not kubuntu like) and logging in did not work. It did accept my password and the screen blinked but then I was back in lightdm. It was possible to log in with my account on a tty. I tried several times. After purging all lightdm packages and then reinstalling kubuntu-desktop I got a kubuntu styled lightdm that worked to log in with. I'm not sure that the lightdm logs that were present on my system when I ran "ubuntu-bug" shows this situation.
