11.10 to 12.04.1 LTS distribution upgrade
Yesterday I made a distribution upgrade on my 11.10 install. I followed the instructions exactly, first I checked whether my system has got all of the most recent updates. I installed them and than I hit the distribution upgrade. I waited patiently for about an hour, maybe less. All the packages were downloaded and installed. Than a restart.
Now the issue I'm having is that the desktop environment doesn't start. I'm gaining access to TTY1 and when I switch to TTY7, I see all of the messages you normally see during booting. There's a messages saying that the LightDM Display Manager daemon has failed to start... obviously. How can I recover from this? Where should I look for clues, maybe there's something missing
