I have reinstalled my system, this time without encryption on my home folder, and with ext4 instead of btrfs and the problem is no longer present.
I tried to reproduce the error on a virtual machine, but it does not appear in Virtualbox. I tried with btrfs, ext4 and with and without encryption. I might set up another partition later to recreate it on my system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/988808 Title: Lightdm fails to restart after logout Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: Steps to reproduce: 1. Log into any desktop environment upon boot. (I have tried with Unity, Unity2d and GNOME Classic). 2. Use the GUI to logout. (Clicking the gear in the top right corner, choosing Log Out...) What happens? Lightdm fails to restart. The screen shows a black terminal screen with messages that usually flashes by during boot. What should happen? Lightdm should automatically restart, showing the login screen. Extra information: Using ctrl+alt+f1 to log into a console works. Doing sudo service lightdm stop followed by sudo service lightdm start just moves focus to the black screen with the boot messages, but lightdm does not start. I have to issue sudo reboot to restart the computer to be able to login.
