I installed a VM in VirtualBox of the 64bit version of Lubuntu yesterday Mar 18th using the daily iso pending download, and immediately saw this problem, but not at every boot or login. When it happened I had to logout and in again several times to get to a usable desktop, as those zombie processes appeared to stop me doing very much else, and I could find no way of killing the processes that worked either in terminal or with any GUI application
In an attempt to overcome it I installed, and tried to use xdm, but when using that it was impossible to get to a GUI desktop, or even a command line; just a black screen that would take no input. >From the grubmenu I booted to recovery mode and there purged xdm and I am now back to the lightdm-gtk-greeter which so far has not caused any more problems. I have aslso reinstalled lightdm-gtk-greeter to see if that has any effect, and will report back any progress or regression I see. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of LightDM Gtk+ Greeter Development Team, which is subscribed to lightdm-gtk- greeter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1290575 Title: lightdm-gtk-greeter does not exit cleanly when logging in Status in LightDM GTK+ Greeter: Confirmed Status in “lightdm-gtk-greeter” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: http://imagebin.org/298340 lightdm-gtk-greeter: Installed: 1.8.2-1ubuntu1 Candidate: 1.8.2-1ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1.8.2-1ubuntu1 0 500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Description: Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (development branch) Release: 14.04 10 March 2014 Image shows two dead 'lightdm-greeter' instances in taskbar upon login.
