It is always a scary experience upgrading Ubuntu versions because it seems like about half of the time somethings goes wrong. (Although, to be fair, usually things are also fixed.) From my recent update from Ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10 my boot froze after the Checking Battery State [OK] status line. It didn't take me long to realize that something was wrong with LightDM and I found this forum post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11356915#post11356915
Fortunately, the problem and the fix is simple. LightDM is missing a dependency that it needs which is why it fails when trying to load. To get the dependency install use the key combination CTRL+ALT+F1 and log into a terminal session. From there you can install the missing dependency:
sudo apt-get install lightdm-gtk-greeter
I rebooted after that by running
sudo reboot
But you could also try to restart LightDM by running
sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm restart
Good luck and enjoy the updated Ubuntu!

Maybe you can try the root
Maybe you can try the root login. Also, make sure you are spelling your username and password correctly, with Caps Lock off. Maybe you could also do an rescue boot with network support, but I'm not sure you could use apt-get from there.
sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
yes, this command solved my problem. Thx.
Checking Battery Status halt! LightDM
Thanks a ton! It worked!
