Still no idea what happened to lightdm and gdm, but I have partially fixed the issue: now I can log in via kdm.
Unlike others it crashed X. Logs said something about unrecognised options: "Fatal server error: Unrecognized option: -nr" So I went to /etc/kde4/kdmrc and edited ServerArgsLocal to -background none -nolisten tcp. That fixed the kdm issue. lightdm and gdm however did not crash X and the problem still remains. They both seem to launch X correctly, however the session terminates immediately. I am still unable to find anything in logs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1075935 Title: login via dm fails.
