Robert, there is currently no special code to handle /var/lib/lightdm/.Xauthority, it's handled by the same code as for any other user session. Would it be possible to make a special case there, so that the greeter uses /run/lightdm/.Xauthority, and every other user session uses ~/.Xauthority, as usual?
If not, we could think about shipping a /var/lib/lightdm/.Xauthority -> /run/lightdm/.Xauthority symlink. In either case, either lightdm itself or the upstart job needs to create /run/lightdm/ at startup with the right permissions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/932598 Title: Full hard drive causes xorg and lightdm to fail to load To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/932598/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
