[Desktop-packages] [Bug 864174] Re: boot hangs waiting for lightdm after purging gdm (wrong default-display-manager)
I propose to change default display manager check as i described in comment #5 in bug #828576. Thanks Tuukka Hastrup for pointing me to this bug. ** Branch linked: lp:ubuntu/lightdm -- 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/864174 Title: boot hangs waiting for lightdm after purging gdm (wrong default- display-manager) Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “lightdm” source package in Oneiric: Confirmed Bug description: I've installed Oneiric beta2 and at some point installed and purged gdm. After that, boot will hang waiting for lightdm to start, which never happens. This is because /etc/X11/default-display-manager ends up saying "lightdm" whereas /etc/init/lightdm.conf accepts "/usr/bin/lightdm" or "/usr/sbin/lightdm". The user sees the splash screen messages "Waiting for up to 60 more seconds for network configuration" and "Booting system without full network configuration". However, the fix is to edit the contents of /etc/X11/default-display- manager to read "/usr/sbin/lightdm".

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 828576] Re: Light-DM not used after upgrade 11.04→11.10
In my opinion proper patch to lightdm.upstart should be
to replace:
[ ! -f /etc/X11/default-display-manager -o "$(cat
/etc/X11/default-display-manager 2>/dev/null)" = "/usr/bin/lightdm" -o "$(cat
/etc/X11/default-display-manager 2>/dev/null)" = "/usr/sbin/lightdm" ] || {
stop; exit 0; }
with:
[ ! -f /etc/X11/default-display-manager -o "$(echo $(basename $(cat
/etc/X11/default-display-manager 2>/dev/null)))" = "lightdm" ] || { stop; exit
0; }

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 828576] Re: Light-DM not used after upgrade 11.04→11.10
I guess problem with starting up lightdm after plymouth is in
misconfiguration.
$ cat /etc/init/lightdm.conf
... SKIPPED ...
script
if [ -n "$UPSTART_EVENTS" ]
then
[ ! -f /etc/X11/default-display-manager -o "$(cat
/etc/X11/default-display-manager 2>/dev/null)" = "/usr/bin/lightdm" -o "$(cat
/etc/X11/default-display-manager 2>/dev/null)" = "/usr/sbin/lightdm" ] || {
stop; exit 0; }
if [ "$RUNLEVEL" = S -o "$RUNLEVEL" = 1 ]
then
# Single-user mode
plymouth quit || :
exit 0
fi
fi
exec lightdm
end script
... SKIPPED ...
It checks if there is "/usr/bin/lightdm" or "/usr/sbin/lightdm" in
/etc/X11/default-display-manager, but in my case it's "lightdm" in that file:
$ cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager
lightdm
