Bug Description

On install of ubuntustudio 12.04 alpha (jan 26, but others for about a week now) boot never gets to lightdm. I can log in on a console terminal ok. The lightdm log complains about missing /usr/share/xgreeters/default.desktop. putting a link in that directory to lightdm-gtk-greeter.desktop (ln -s lightdm-gtk-greeter.desktop default.desktop) seems to correct this problem. Oneric (xubuntu) just has lightdm-gtk-greeter.desktop and works fine.

Are you calling /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-set-defaults in your postinst for your lightdm theme? That's generally what needs to set the session and greeter.

I believe it was just an incorrect package in the desktop seed. I switched it to lightdm-gtk-greeter. I'm under the assumption that'll fix the issue.
