As a result, if any package is modifying /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf on installation to set 'greeter-show-manual-login=true', will cause users of this package to have conffile prompts on future upgrades. It would be helpful if lightdm had some supported mechanism for packages to override the defaults in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf - such as an /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d directory . [Test Case] * Create autologin file, as shown below. This will fail on precise, but work fine on saucy/trusty. $ cat /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/10-ubuntu.conf [SeatDefaults] autologin-user=ubuntu-or-any-other-user-on-system [Regression Potential] * none that I could see, and is backport from upstream [Other Info] * Has been tested, and works. * Merge https://code.launchpad.net/~lightdm-team/lightdm/1.2 against precise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/1190425/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
