Some more investigation: I've done a bisect in lightdm and the offending commit is https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~lightdm-team/lightdm/1.18/revision/231 9 which is a somehow large refactoring, I didn't yet identify what could be the problem there (but reported that upstream as well). I've checked the currently opened file descriptors when when starting the session (I've added an ls -l /proc/self/fd in 75dbus..) and here are the results (don't bother about the PIDs, the “first” login was after a lightdm restart after the “second” login). For the first login: + ls -l /proc/self/fd total 0 lr-x------ 1 corsac corsac 64 Jul 11 12:56 0 -> /dev/null l-wx------ 1 corsac corsac 64 Jul 11 12:56 1 -> /home/corsac/.xsession-errors l-wx------ 1 corsac corsac 64 Jul 11 12:56 2 -> /home/corsac/.xsession-errors lr-x------ 1 corsac corsac 64 Jul 11 12:56 3 -> /proc/30014/fd For the second: + ls -l /proc/self/fd total 0 lr-x------ 1 corsac corsac 64 Jul 11 12:56 0 -> /proc/29846/fd l-wx------ 1 corsac corsac 64 Jul 11 12:56 1 -> /home/corsac/.xsession-errors l-wx------ 1 corsac corsac 64 Jul 11 12:56 2 -> /home/corsac/.xsession-errors So it seems stdin is closed for the second login. Could it break dbus- launch/dbus-daemon somehow? Regards, -- Yves-Alexis
