Hi, that screenshot is not lightdm-gtk-greeter > > I attached the last 150 lines from lightdm.log. > And the log confirm you're using arctica-greeter, so it's definitely unrelated to lightdm-gtk-greeter. But in any case, as I said before, you can select the session in the greeter but in the end it's handled by Lightdm itself. Looking at the log you provided, we can see: [+264.18s] DEBUG: Session pid=5587: Running command /etc/X11/Xsession default [+264.18s] DEBUG: Creating shared data directory /var/lib/lightdm/data/scheini72 [+264.18s] DEBUG: Session pid=5587: Logging to .xsession-errors So you're definitely using /etc/X11/Xsession with the 'default' parameter. You should be able to select a specific session if the desktop environment you use has it (for example Xfce). In any case, could you provide your .xsession-errors as well as your .xsession or .Xsession just in case? It looks to me like an configuration issue rather than a bug though.
