[Touch-packages] [Bug 842194] Re: greeter doesn't start "failed to load session file"
Closing this bug. While you can always generate invalid configuration the conf.d support means this should not be possible without specific modification by a sysadmin. If invalid configuration occurs the correct behaviour is for lightdm to exit with error and a system level tool to handle this (i.e. warn / prompt the user to fix the configuration). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/842194 Title: greeter doesn't start "failed to load session file" Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: As of today, lightdm on oneiric doesn't show a login screen.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 842194] Re: greeter doesn't start "failed to load session file"
Modifying /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf from packages and/or using lightdm- set-defaults was the old method of configuring greeters. All packages should now install a configuration snippet into /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/ - this ensures the configuration always matches what is installed. Only sysadmin specific overrides should be in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/ - if you did not create this file yourself it should be deleted. ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/842194 Title: greeter doesn't start "failed to load session file" Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: As of today, lightdm on oneiric doesn't show a login screen.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 842194] Re: greeter doesn't start "failed to load session file"
The file /etc/lightdm/ligtdm.conf is being created while running
postinst script from lightdm-{kde,gtk}-greeter package. The script needs
the /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-set-defaults binary. This binary is owned
by lightdm package so it is necessary to install lightdm package before
or at the same time with lightdm-{kde,gtk}-greeter. If lightdm package
was installed after one of the lightdm-greeter packages, you may run
"dpkg-reconfigure lightdm-kde-greeter" or "dpkg-reconfigure lightdm-gtk-
greeter" (depending on the greeter package you have installed) to
generate the proper /etc/lightdm/ligtdm.conf file. This method helped me
to solve the problem.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 842194] Re: greeter doesn't start "failed to load session file"
Installing Precise from debootstrap, then kubuntu-desktop with APT::Install-Recommends "false"; then lightdm, lightdm-kde-greeter, xorg, linux-image-generic causes the similar problem with lightdm. [+0.21s] DEBUG: Failed to load session file /usr/share/xgreeters/default.desktop: No such file or directory In /usr/share/xgreeters I have lightdm-kde-greeter.desktop but the file /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf does not exist! I will have to create it manually and to write there something like: "[SeatDefaults] greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter" I think it should solve the problem. It is interesting that there is no package owns the /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file (if is has been generated automatically). Why is it created when recommends installation is switched on and has not been created automatically during the installation without recommends? What is responsible for generating the /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/842194 Title: greeter doesn't start "failed to load session file" Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: As of today, lightdm on oneiric doesn't show a login screen.
