Lionel, why do you consider it a lightdm bug if lightdm-gtk-greeter change the config and doesn't restore it when uninstalled to let it in a broken state? It seems it's the greeter package changing the config and breaking it..
Oh, and nobody said that unity-greeter doesn't have the same bug, still it doesn't make it a lightdm bug, could you give details on why you think it's ok for the greeter to change the config on install and let a buggy one when being uninstalled? ** Also affects: lightdm-gtk-greeter (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/977069 Title: After installaing and removing lightdm-gtk-greeter lightdm is left in a not working state Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “lightdm-gtk-greeter” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: expected behaviour: unity greeter is used again actual behaviour lightdm wont start, falling back to console ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: lightdm 1.2.0-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-22.35-generic 3.2.14 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-22-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.0-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 Date: Mon Apr 9 10:56:19 2012 SourcePackage: lightdm UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/977069/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
