Yep, the lightdm-set-defaults tool fixes the issue when you use it in
the maintainer scripts as described by Didier (cf.
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/lightdm/2011-August/46.html).
Maybe new issues arose, but at least the default session and greeters
can be set easily now. Thanks.

right, but what is wrong in overwriting the default in a configuration?
why doesn't that work?
btw this was uploaded this week, does it fix the issue?

* Cherry-pick from upstream:
- lightdm-set-defaults enables tweaking
No, this is not resolved. Using the symlink as mentioned in Comment #13
above still does not allow a user to log in to the correct session.
Further, the latest changes to lightdm give Xubuntu a black background
with the unity-greeter text and icon. This is far from correct for all
of us to be able
Why does lightdm allows ubuntu only to be used? the xubuntu settings
binary could install config with another session?

It's hardcoded to load a session called 'ubuntu' rather than something
called 'default'. So this means that a lightdm conf file has to override
the default and a symlink to default.desktop does nothing.

Lionel, derivates are supported and we want to make their job as easy as
we can, the current version should support what is needed to build any
derivate, the remaining issue is what happens if you try to install
several desktops at the same time including their custom default

Unfortunately, this is not resolved as shown by the issues trying to

I've uploaded a new xubuntu-default-settings revision that uses
alternatives for /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and
/usr/share/xsessions/default.desktop earlier today. In parallel, a new
mythbuntu-lightdm-theme package was uploaded, and its postinst does a
copy of a custom lightdm.conf file to

I was waiting for such an answer on this bug but a3 is around the corner
and needed some solution. Since nothing came decided to go with the
easier route of just copying the file in place from postinst.
I'm indifferent to
Lightdm 0.9.2 uploaded in oneiric today has added support for what

OpenSUSE has and /etc/sysconfig file for display managers. I think a
good solution would be for Debian to have one in /etc/default. Does
anyone know what the process is for adding this? LightDM upstream will
then support loading config from /etc/default and /etc/sysconfig so it
will work on all
This is now pretty much a duplicate of bug 806064.

Thanks for taking care of that.

In the solution proposed by Martin Pitt all the fun happens on multi-DE

Just discussed on IRC. Summary:
- We'll make the internal defaults DTRT, and not ship with any conffile
- xubuntu-default-settings can then ship their own /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf,
preferably as a non-conffile though.
- Default session can be set with providing a

Likewise for Mythbuntu.

Perhaps we should split the config into a separate package? That way there's
a lightdm-config-ubuntu and a lightdm-config-xubuntu package (the both would
obviously have to conflict with eachother).
This is overkill to create packages for only one conffile, and probably a mess
to deal with on
Just to mention that Lubuntu has the same problem.
We use also update-alternative system with LXDM (to have LXDE genuine
theme, and Lubuntu theme), and it's working quite well. It would be
unfortunate if all Ubuntu flavors share the same display manager, but
can't set their settings easily.

Sorry for the big delay in getting back to this. I guess this works if
you want Xubuntu to override the Ubuntu config. However it doesn't work
if you add a third party. Perhaps we should split the config into a
separate package? That way there's a lightdm-config-ubuntu and a
I think this can become troublesome when you need to change things like
autologin. For example ubquity will write out the autologin settings to
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and any userspace tool for changing these
settings would likely be looking there too.
So if this solution is accepted, then
@Lionel: Yes, the script section gets passed to /bin/sh, so that
works.
Robert, WDYT about this? Seems harmless for the case when the custom
file is not there.
