I was using lightdm with the lightdm-gtk-greeter just fine, however I tried to install the unity greeter and now it shows me a black screen with a blinking cursor (I have to ctr+alt+1 and login through the shell to get in)
I'm not sure why it doesn't work, the installation completed without any issues, can anyone point me in the right direction? Let me know if I should post anything that'd help debug the problem.
UPDATE: I just tried installing the pantheon greeter and got the same error, webkit greeter works fine though
