fyi / i have 3 different systems and 3 different outcomes. - new install 13.10 on new machine, no issue
- clean upgrade from 13.04 to 13.10 where adding lightdm to hidden-users solved the problem - bad upgrade 13.04 t 13.10 where 13.10 had to be re-installed but /home was changed to old raid drive. in this instance, adding lightdm to hidden-users only solves after a logout and coming back to the login screen. the initial after boot screen still shows the Light Display Manager user. -- 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/1242939 Title: Greeter shows "LightDM" user due to XDG_SESSION_CLASS not being provided to logind or ConsoleKit Status in Light Display Manager: Fix Released Status in Light Display Manager 1.8 series: Fix Released Status in Light Display Manager 1.9 series: Fix Released Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “lightdm” source package in Saucy: In Progress Status in “lightdm” source package in Trusty: Fix Released Bug description: XDG_SESSION_CLASS not provided to logind or ConsoleKit. The ConsoleKit support was regressed in 1.7.5 and it's never been passed to logind. Without the greeter being marked as a "greeter" class both logind and ConsoleKit consider it an open session that must be logged out of before you can shutdown. This cases AccountsService to report this user and it is shown in greeters. To reproduce: 1. Boot to Unity Greeter 2. Log into guest account 3. Log out of guest account Expected result: Greeter shows user list same as before login Observed result: A new user is added - "Light Display Manager" Regression potential: This variable has not been set when using logind in Ubuntu so a low risk of other subtle behaviour changes.
