[Bug 1263469] Re: [backport-request] 12.04.4 needs a newer version of lightDM-KDE
From our KDM defaults in kde-workspace 4.8.5: Key: TerminateServer Type: bool Default: true User: core Instance: #:*/! Merge: xdm Comment: Restart instead of resetting the local X-Server; after session exit. Use it if the server leaks memory etc. Description: Whether kdm; should restart the local X-Server; after session exit instead of resetting it. Use this if the X-Server; leaks memory or crashes the system on reset attempts. So, it appears there is no reason for using lightdm at all.

[Bug 1263469] Re: [backport-request] 12.04.4 needs a newer version of lightDM-KDE
Having taken a brief look at the buglist in KDE https://bugs.kde.org/component-report.cgi?product=lightdm leaves me with impression that Kubuntu 12.04 would benefit from the situation that bugfixes would get incorporated in by an upgraded version.

This fixes only the _single_ graphics card use case ... ... (hybrid graphics won't still work without lightdm) ... I cannot test it in full since the HWE-Stack-saucy is not completed yet. So far it'll be necessary to logout from a running session in order to acivate the e.g. Nvidia dGPU / Intel-iGPU, LightDM will restart the X-System automatically. Even though I would personnaly agree to favour KDM it fails here and we've got to use STRG+backspace. proof of concept: http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/post/6221157/ (dated 24. Dezember 2013 10:55) A similar test could be provided with the current Alpha-1 of 14.04 in order to let u see the disappointing result wt KDM on a Nvidia-Hybrid Graphics System (aka Optimus). I am only asking for the change in order to keep the high level of Kubuntu with the coming change as refered to in comment #1 above. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1263469 Title: [backport-request] 12.04.4 needs a newer version of lightDM-KDE To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm-kde/+bug/1263469/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Let me ask this again. What are the strong reasons that make you believe that the presently available lightdm-kde version will not fill the needs of nvidia hybrids? Because if your concern is quality then you really should not be requesting that lightdm-kde gets a backport but instead the default DM used in 12.04 should grow support for whatever is necessary. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1263469 Title: [backport-request] 12.04.4 needs a newer version of lightDM-KDE To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm-kde/+bug/1263469/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Also this doesn't explain how lightdm-kde would be insufficient to use for hybrid setups. If I recall correctly lightdm-kde was fully functional in 12.04, a bit rough around the edges, then again so is using a hybrid setup in general. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to lightdm-kde in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1263469 Title: [backport-request] 12.04.4 needs a newer version of lightDM-KDE To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm-kde/+bug/1263469/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1263469] Re: [backport-request] 12.04.4 needs a newer version of lightDM-KDE
I have strong reason to believe Please elaborate. Also since lightdm is not the default DM of 12.04 I doubt we would want to invest time in this. ** Changed in: lightdm-kde (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to lightdm-kde in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1263469 Title: [backport-request] 12.04.4 needs a newer version of lightDM-KDE To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm-kde/+bug/1263469/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

O.K. If you don't mind having a brief look a bug #1262068 (status:fix-released) Title: nvidia-prime should support gdm also In special comment #4 there, which describes the fix: nvidia-prime (0.5.2) trusty; urgency=low * debian/control: - Add an alternative dependency on gdm and kdm so that gdm or kdm users are not forced to install lightdm now that nvidia depends on nvidia-prime. This fixes only the single graphics card use case (hybrid graphics won't still work without lightdm) but it's a step in the right direction (LP: #1262068) An Optimus driven Laptop will then automatically demand for LightDM, since it will become an dependency in 12.04.4 ** Changed in: lightdm-kde (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1263469 Title: [backport-request] 12.04.4 needs a newer version of lightDM-KDE To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm-kde/+bug/1263469/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
