[Bug 1722988] Re: Crash, black screen with lightdm
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1722920 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1722920
I'm marking as duplicate since this bug is no longer reproducible after
today's updates according to the comments here.
Till, Ubuntu 17.10 does use GDM by default. And if you upgrade now from
17.04, you should be transitioned from LightDM to GDM automatically
(unless you have other desktop environments installed I think).
LightDM itself does not use either unity-settings-daemon or gnome-
settings-daemon. unity-greeter though does use unity-settings-daemon.
Unity requires unity-settings-daemon to be installed for the lockscreen.
While I'd love to see unity-settings-daemon be removed, it would cause
regressions with keyboard shortcuts ("hotkeys") and gnome-control-
center's Displays panel wouldn't work. These are fixable with developer
effort (GNOME Flashback managed to fix both of these issues) but there
aren't really developers working on improving Unity now.

Jeremy, why do we still have unity-settings-daemon after discontinuing Unity?

I encountered the same problem today and after some trying around I came to the idea of changing the greeter, entered the first four commands of comment #9 (without having seen this bug report yet) and this way got back in again. Then I googled for the problem and found this bug report. I am using a 2nd generation Lenovo X1 Carbon and during Artful development Wayland did not work for me and so I always worked in the "GNOME with Xorg" session. The greeter was LightDM (looked the same as the one of Zesty). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1722988 Title: Crash, black screen with lightdm To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1722988/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
