Package: lightdm
Version: 1.2.2-3
Severity: normal
Using gnome, user switch does not work.
Error messsage is:
The name org.gnome.DisplayManager was not provided by any .service files
Investigations show that GNOME (shell, menu, screensaver / lock) use
gdmflexiserver
(which may not be removed due to dependencies).
But gdmflexiserver uses the SESSION bus, whereas lightdm listens to SYSTEM bus.
$ dbus-send --system --dest=org.freedesktop.DisplayManager
/org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Seat0
org.freedesktop.DisplayManager.Seat.SwitchToGreeter
works but
$ dbus-send --dest=org.freedesktop.DisplayManager
/org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Seat0
org.freedesktop.DisplayManager.Seat.SwitchToGreeter
doesn't
Ubuntu ships a gdmflexiserver script doing the --system dbus-send call located
in a directory placed at the beginning of PATH which can be considered as an
(ugly) workaround. Listening to session bus (if this is standard) may be better.

gdmflexiserver is to be removed in the next (1.9+) lightdm version. The
correct way to switch user is to use dm-tool, so I'm just closing this
bug now.
It might still need work in desktop environments, but that's not a
lightdm bug.
