The file /etc/lightdm/ligtdm.conf is being created while running
postinst script from lightdm-{kde,gtk}-greeter package. The script needs
the /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-set-defaults binary. This binary is owned
by lightdm package so it is necessary to install lightdm package before
or at the same time with lightdm-{kde,gtk}-greeter. If lightdm package
was installed after one of the lightdm-greeter packages, you may run
"dpkg-reconfigure lightdm-kde-greeter" or "dpkg-reconfigure lightdm-gtk-
greeter" (depending on the greeter package you have installed) to
generate the proper /etc/lightdm/ligtdm.conf file. This method helped me
to solve the problem.-- 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/842194 Title: greeter doesn't start "failed to load session file" Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: As of today, lightdm on oneiric doesn't show a login screen.
