[Bug 918401] Re: Unity-greeter installed by default on Lubuntu, crashing on start

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.9.16

---------------
ubiquity (2.9.16) precise; urgency=low

  * Bump fallback Ubuntu version number in ubi-language to 12.04.
  * Behave a little more usefully when running over ssh with X forwarding
    such that ubiquity is unable to talk to NetworkManager.  This
    configuration isn't actually supported, but is occasionally useful for
    debugging so it helps to be able to start ubiquity at the very least.
  * Configure the target system to disable installation of Recommends if
    base-installer/install-recommends is preseeded to false (LP: #918401).
  * Automatic update of included source packages: flash-kernel 2.28ubuntu39,
    partman-auto 93ubuntu19.

  **Workaround**
  Install lxdm from tty

  A simple how to for those not sure how to install from tty is:
  1 - when the screen goes blank press control+alt+F1 to bring up the tty1 terminal.
  2 - log into this console using your normal username and password
  3 - type in "sudo apt-get install lxdm" and enter in your password
  4 - type "sudo reboot"
  5 - when it reboots you will need to press alt+L to get past the issue one more time
  6 - change the session to Lubuntu
  7 - login

  It should now function as normally expected from here on in
