Login Screen Does Not Appear
Xubuntu 12.04
after checking the lightdm log (/var/log/lightdm/x-0-greeter.log) if you see the following error:
"Error opening file /var/lib/lightdm/.Xauthority permission denied"
used the following commands to fix this:
sudo mv /var/lib/lightdm/.Xauthority /var/lib/lightdm/.Xauthority.bak sudo reboot
this will automatically generate a new .Xauthority file which has the correct permissions
