The log file does not contain errors. I solved the problem by editing the /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file. I added the line "logind-check-graphical = false" and restarted lightdm.

The wiki [1] lists it as a potential fix. By popular demand, it was flipped to "true" by default in the latest upstream release. I definitely need it on my system.

It's interesting that you had to flip it back to "false" to get it working.
