Title:
multiseat autologin fails
Status in Light Display Manager:
New
Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I run ubuntu 16.04 system with 2 seats. One seat uses internal intel video ,
another - nvidia card.
It all worked well until upgrade from 1.18.1-0ubuntu1 to 1.18.2-0ubuntu1.
Both seats are configured for autologin
[Seat:seat0]
autologin-user=user
autologin-user-timeout=20
[SeatDefaults]
allow-guest=false
autologin-user=user
autologin-user-timeout=86400000
When "user" logs to any seat, another seat's lightdm greater does not allow
him to login.
I select "user" from the list and immediately red login error box appears.
password field is present (it should not because its autologin user). OK, I
type password there. I still get login error no matter if password is correct.
Then password entry field does not accept any characters and I cannot login as
any user on that seat. Everything restores after "user" logs off from the first
seat. System again behave normally.
I downgraded lightdm (not lightdm-gtk-greater) and it fixed the problem.
