whenever I reboot the lightdm display the mouse cursor but it doesn't show the login form. However if I type my password I login into my account. This hapens since I've moved to kubuntu 15.04 (upgrade from kubuntu 14.10). I've reinstalled lightdm and it keeps doing the same thing. Any ideas? Thkx, Pedro.

It looks like a bug and affects me too. Switching to SDDM works for me. Switching from lightdm to SDDM is as follows:
Run the following and select sddm, and then do a restart:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
Then select sddm.
Have you tried this:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall unity
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
unity --replace
and it might work fine this way

Just confirm me, but unity is for ubuntu, not Kubuntu, right? I think i don't have unity installed... (I don't have the computer near me) Jul 1, 2015 at 20:30
startx
orstartx unity -- :0
. You're probably gonna see xterm window with that last command pop up, which is normal if you don't have your desired session added to.xinit
file. Link related askubuntu.com/a/519164/295286startx unity
