Hi, Thinking about this, I bet a restart is necessary, or at least a restart of lightdm. I will update the Wiki to reflect this. The restart is necessary to get the correct lightdm binary to run so it knows about the unity8-lxc session. I've been running this lightdm for so long now that it didn't occur to me that it needs to be restarted. The unity8-lxc package itself doesn't require a restart though.
Regarding the logout, yes this is annoying and a known issue in Unity 8. This is bug #1360316 and I've been told that it should be looked at after RTM of the phone. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1393960 Title: Unable to start session at login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity8-preview-lxc/+bug/1393960/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
