Sorry about that update, I was just browsing this bug-report and did not actually change anything - so the description is as it originally was. One question though; now that fix has been committed , when can I expect it to arrive at Ubuntu 12.04 repositories and to get published? The bug description (or the title) does not have any milestone, so does this mean that the fix has not been scheduled at all for 12.04 and 12.10? In which way is the Ubuntu bug release schedule determined, in general?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1044485] Re: lightdm-set-defaults is undocumented in lightdm man page
Hi Jukka, Fixes for manpages are generally not considered severe enough to be worth porting back to a LTS like 12.04. Since I fixed this in November (after 12.10), it will be in 13.04, the release that comes out in a couple months.

Hi Matt, thanks for the explanation. In case of lightdm-set-defaults, the CLI usage shows the available options (after you find the command in /usr/lib/lightdm -path ..). This still does not solve the missing documentation for the lightdm.conf conguratoon file.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1044485] Re: lightdm-set-defaults is undocumented in lightdm man page
It would be very, very useful to have a manual page for lightdm.conf(5) made. Currently there seems to be no single place where the options are documented. There are a few howtos floating around with individual tricks, but a complete overview of the configuration options is needed to really make lightdm fully useful. -- 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/1044485 Title: lightdm-set-defaults is undocumented in lightdm man page Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: first off, this applies to 12.10 and 12.04 and possibly earlier versions. secondly, in trying to figure out how to change some relatively simple things, i've found people suggesting an edit to lightdm.conf, which works, but clearly lightdm-set-defaults is a much better and user friendly way to do this. the lack of any reference to what the possible options are in the lightdm.conf versus the help page (-h) in lightdm-set-defaults is an example of this. however, there is no reference to it in the lightdm man page. this would be a simple fix. it would also help to throw it into a directory that is in the $PATH or set the directory it's installed in as part of the $PATH at install, but perhaps i should create a different bug for this.

Matt, the man page will be a lot of work and take a while to complete.
