It appears that lightdm 1.2.3 still has the problem.
The issue cropped up in an install of 64-bit Mythbuntu 12.04, after it had been
running fine for about 15 months.
The nvidia 6150 chip was failing and locking up the system randomly, so it was
replaced with an nvidia 8600GTS PCI-E card.
After
I had the issue while running 12.04 (not updating). With 12.10 the
lightdm issue is still present.

A colleague of mine was also affected by this bug upgrading to 12.04.
Just had to change the owner of the .Xauthority file:
chown myuser:myuser /home/myuser/.Xauthority
(.Xauthority was previously owned by root).
But from the user point of view, this bug is really hard to understand.

I have removed .Xauthority from a vt and then logging in lightdm works

I bumped into this as well, with lightdm and gdm after a release upgrade from
11.04.
The proposed solution to remove, ~/.Xauthority and ~/.ICEauthority doesn't work
for me.
I still don't have the solution of what triggers this but I suggest to fiddle
with .profile, excluding some lines make
For me the packages from the proposed repository are working.

My start screen also shows Xubuntu. Originally I installed Xubuntu some
years ago (I think it was 6.04). But I use ubuntu-desktop for a long
time. Maybe this is somehow related?
Is anybody affected who never used Xubuntu?

Hi,
I got the same problem after upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10 on an xubuntu
release. I had to remove another file to make it work:
rm -f ~/.ICEauthority
Thx for the help

I just upgraded two days ago directly from 11.04 to 11.11 via online update. I
never had lightdm on this machine before. Thus the problem exists is in the
current version.
AFAIKT the patch repairs the bug but does not fix the root cause, right?

Is anyone experiencing this who's upgraded directly from 11.04 to 11.10?

guess is there was a version of LightDM that incorrectly wrote this file
with root permissions and upgrading from that version triggers the
problem.
