I was having the same issue. I discovered the issue when I found errors written to `/var/log/seat0-greeter.log`: Error writing X authority: Failed to open X authority /var/lib/lightdm/.Xauthority: No such file or directory Indeed, I only had `/var/lib/lightdm-data`. Running the command mkdir /var/lib/lightdm and rebooting fixed the issue for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1473149 Title: Lightdm refuses to work after installing kubuntu-desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1473149/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The attachment "Patched kubuntu-desktop_1.331_amd64.deb without the offending subpackage kde-telepathy" seems to be a patch. If it isn't, please remove the "patch" flag from the attachment, remove the "patch" tag, and if you are a member of the ~ubuntu-reviewers, unsubscribe the team.

[Bug 1473149] Re: Lightdm refuses to work after installing kubuntu-desktop
Bug hit me with Ubuntu 15.10 Beta 2 and now again on today released 15.10. What I did: I attempted to apt install kubuntu-desktop on freshly installed system. What happened: apt-get failed showing : Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/kde-config-telepathy-accounts_4%3a15.08.2-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/kaccounts-providers_4%3a15.08.2-0ubuntu1_all.deb kde-telepathy-minimal: Depends: telepathy-mission-control-5 (>= 1:5.12) but 1:5.16.3-1ubuntu4 is installed Package system was _completely_ broken. No more software installations or removals possible. apt-get install -f had no effect. See also thread on this German Ubuntu forum about the broken package system bug: https://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/software-center-nach-installation-von-kde-auss/ At next reboot the system hung displaying only an Oxygen mouse cursor, no login manager appeared. System was completely trashed, not even virtual consoles worked. See also this successor bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1473149 What I expected to happen: A smooth installation of KDE. What I suspect to be the error: The KDE package apparently installed incompletely due the bad dependencies mentioned and left the system in a broken state. What I expect to be done: Hot Fix: Remove the offending package "kde-telepathy" from metapackage kubuntu-desktop_1.331_amd64.deb. PATCH INCLUDED: I made and uploaded a patched kubuntu-desktop_1.331_amd64.deb package file which does not contain kde-telepathy. To install KDE without destroying your system, download the patched .deb and install it via dpkg -i ** Attachment added: "Patched kubuntu-desktop_1.331_amd64.deb without the offending subpackage kde-telepathy" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1473149/+attachment/4502637/+files/kubuntu-desktop_1.331_amd64.deb -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1473149 Title: Lightdm refuses to work after installing kubuntu-desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1473149/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The log file is /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log.

Robert Ancell,Perhaps apport didn't generate good quality logs.I indeed enter wrong passwords a lot when I try to login. but that is NOT the problem.It doesn't even get to login prompt when it fails the way I mentioned.It freezes on a black screen.and it doesn't show anything.after a small time I'll see the regular detailed start up screen.(The one you can see when Kubuntu/Ubuntu is starting up and you press Esc button to see)and then it freezes up,this time forever.(or is very slow?but sddm works instantly) I do not know how to create better quality logs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1473149 Title: Lightdm refuses to work after installing kubuntu-desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1473149/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
