Alberto, you changing to wontfix without any explanation wasn't helpful.

Won't fix for Oneiric as the risk of changing the scripts is too high and the type of users hitting this bug can probably fix it manually. The fix will be to copy the scripts from KDM and XDM which handle uninstalls correctly. ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu Oneiric) Status: Triaged = Invalid ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu Oneiric) Status: Triaged = Invalid ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu Oneiric) Status: Invalid = Won't Fix ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu Oneiric) Status: Invalid = Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/864174 Title: boot hangs waiting for lightdm after purging gdm (wrong default- display-manager) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/864174/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 864174] Re: boot hangs waiting for lightdm after purging gdm (wrong default-display-manager)
What exactly happens: In GDM, when uninstalling it sets /etc/X11/default-display-manager to the first available display manager *package name*. It should set it to the full path to the display manager executable. In LightDM, when uninstalling it doesn't change /etc/X11/default- display-manager, so it is set to /usr/sbin/lightdm which is no longer installed.

[Bug 864174] Re: boot hangs waiting for lightdm after purging gdm (wrong default-display-manager)
So it seems gdm is buggy there, the prerm sets the default to lightdm rather the to /usr/sbin/lightm, lightdm has a similar bug since its script is copied from gdm... ** Also affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu Oneiric) Importance: Undecided = High ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = High ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu Oneiric) Status: New = Incomplete ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Opinion ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Status: Opinion = Confirmed ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu Oneiric) Status: Incomplete = Confirmed ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu Oneiric) Status: Confirmed = Triaged ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Triaged ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Triaged ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu Oneiric) Status: Confirmed = Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/864174 Title: boot hangs waiting for lightdm after purging gdm (wrong default- display-manager) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/864174/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thank you Tuukka. I've had the same problem with lightdm not loading and had to drop to a shell to start lightdm manually until I found this solution. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/864174 Title: boot hangs waiting for lightdm after purging gdm (wrong default- display-manager) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/864174/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Upgrading from Mythbuntu 11.04 to 11.10 x64 is the easiest way to reproduce this bug, since lightdm is now the default.

Re #5 how to reproduce with a normal Ubuntu installation: 1. apt-get install gdm 2. Choose gdm as the default display manager when prompted. 3. apt-get remove gdm 4. cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager This should just say lightdm and following boots should fail until the file content is changed to /usr/sbin/lightdm. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/864174 Title: boot hangs waiting for lightdm after purging gdm (wrong default- display-manager) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/864174/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 864174] Re: boot hangs waiting for lightdm after purging gdm (wrong default-display-manager)
This doesn't seem all that easy to reproduce (i. e. getting into the state where /etc/X11/default-display-manager says just lightdm)? Anyway, this is primarily an upgrade issue and does not affect a clean install, so it can be fixed in an SRU. ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu Oneiric) Milestone: ubuntu-11.10 = None -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/864174 Title: boot hangs waiting for lightdm after purging gdm (wrong default- display-manager) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/864174/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
