Sorry for not being precise. I had and still have it installed: > dpkg -l | grep ' lightdm' > ii lightdm 1.10.2-2 amd64 simple display manager > ii lightdm-kde-greeter 0.3.2.2-1 amd64 LightDM KDE greeter But instead of being used, that line produces the following error (with varying memory address) crashing lightdm: > *** Error in `/usr/sbin/lightdm': double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x00007ff6ca2175f0 *** > > As Fabio Rosciano has the line > > > greeter-session=lightdm-greeter > > in his config, too, this is very likely the culprit. > > lightdm-greeter is the correct setting, lightdm-greeter is managed using > the alternatives system, so if you remove a greeter the system will > switch to another greeter automatically. Yes, but I guess that as soon as the key "greeter-session" appears in the config file, lightdm 1.10.2-2 crashes. It definitely does it on my computer with the value "lightdm-kde-greeter". I haven't checked other values, but I can do that if you tell me which values I should check. > Yup, greeter-hide-users was previously set (to true) > in /e/l/lightdm.conf, and is now set > in /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/01_debian.conf. > > So, can you actually check which one is actually making lightdm crash? The former one lets lightdm crash. "greeter-hide-users" does not seem to have anything to do with the crash. I just wanted to mention it, as the configuration with both keys set seems to be quite common, which is why this crash should be fixed without the need that everyone removes the "greeter session" key from his config. Kind regards Patrick P. S. If you can't reproduce it: Both Fabio Rosciano have an amd64 system. It might be different on an i386 system.
