Title:
after logout from xfce, lightdm greeter has no widgets except
accesibility (ie no shutdown etc)
Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
upon a fresh boot or restart the lightdm greeter gtk theme shows
network applet and shutdown/reboot button in the upper right corner.
nevertheless, after a logout from an xfce session these widgets are
missing from the greeter and therefore the machine cannot be shutdown.
on some computers i can switch to console (ctrl-alt-f1) and press
ctrl-alt-del for a reboot but on some the console also does not appear
(ie it's completely black without a login prompt).
my /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf is
[SeatDefaults]
greeter-session=unity-greeter
is it possible this is related to the pam_systemd.so module and/or
systemd itself?
