Public bug reported:
Release from lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Release: 12.04
**Note** This is actually Xubuntu, with XFCE 4.8.
Lightdm Package:
lightdm:
Installed: 1.2.1-0ubuntu1
Candidate: 1.2.1-0ubuntu1
Version table:
*** 1.2.1-0ubuntu1 0
500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Attempted asking on launchpad first, this is the post:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+question/204213
In summary, when I installed I selected to use autologin and it worked
fine, except that it was using en_GB locale instead of en_US. Didn't
know how to change locale at first so I just went to
Applications>System>Users and Groups and made it ask for a password to
login. This allowed me to select locale on login. I've since changed
it to automatically use en_US so I tried to turn auto-login back on. I
at first just clicked the box to no longer ask for a password and it
didn't work. It switched to a nosplash view for about a second and
switched back to the greeter. Had to log in as a guest and change it
back to asking for a password so that I could log in. This is my
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf output:
[SeatDefaults]
user-session=xubuntu
greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter
autologin-user=justin
autologin-user-timeout=0
Just like http://xubuntu.org/news/faq-1204-precise/ says.
This is the only thing that stuck out from /var/log/lightdm.log:
[+941.41s] WARNING: Could not call SetLanguage:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.Acc$
Syslog only had one thing when I grepped "lightdm":
Jul 27 07:16:00 justin-Presario-V2000-EZ617UA-ABA lightdm: pam_ecryptfs:
Passphrase file wrapped
Thanks in advance!
