Hi Sebastien,

[1]
cat /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[SeatDefaults]
greeter-session=unity-greeter

[2]
sudo dpkg -l unity-greeter
ii unity-greeter 0.1.1-0ubuntu1

If I remember right, unity-greeter was installed as a dempendency via aptitude ?!

What I found weird in /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log was this line:
WARNING: Failed to open log file /var/log/lightdm/x-0-greeter.log: Permission denied

What else do you think might be not OK?

I have to mention that I started everything in a console (TTY1) via Strg+Alt+F1 this way:

[logout of gdm session]
sudo service gdm stop
sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm -> lightdm
sudo service lightdm start
