O que eu fiz para resolver esse problema foi remover e reinstalar o lightdm e o ubuntu-desktop. Corrigido o problema imediatamente. Talvez seja necessário remover o pacote em cache e garantir que ele baixe uma versão nova do repositório.
Hoje não consigo acessar a GUI, mas posso usar o console ( Ctrl + Alt + F1 ) para efetuar login como um usuário ou como root, e eu posso fazer login via ssh.
Sob Natty, antes da atualização, eu configurei o Ubuntu para fazer login automático como usuário. Na sexta-feira, o autologin estava trabalhando com 12.04. Hoje eu sou apresentado com a tela de login pela primeira vez. Eu não sou solicitado para o ID do usuário, apenas por uma senha.

Eu tentei desinstalar e reinstalar lightdm , mas isso não ajudou.
Eu tenho 3 sistemas Ubuntu virtualizados; dois deles têm esse problema. O que devo fazer?
