Comment 2 for bug 1186856

I too have the problem.

The CLI login appears first (for 2-3 seconds), and then I get a "The Greeter application appears to be crashing. Attempting to use a different one." message (in some X messagebox, strangely).

If I click "OK" (only choice), the message return 2-3 times... then a console error message tell me the X display as crashed too many times and will retry in 2 minutes...

Then all is fine and I can login. I could also simply login in a tty and type "startx", but the I get error message about an X server already being at display :0 after 2 minutes...

I have a fresh install of Olivia, with the (recommanded) Nvidia drvier running.
