Use case: Installing Ubuntu onto a Samsung Large screen TV with embedded PC, 2.5GB flash disk only (not big enough for full Ubuntu 11.10).
Installed from ubuntu minimal, installed ubuntu-standard and ubuntu- desktop with --no-install-recommends (due to lack of disk space on this device). lightdm doesn't start, vt.handoff=7 splash cause the user to experience a blank screen with 'no signal' on boot. Log shows: DEBUG: Failed to load session file /usr/share/xgreeters/lightdm-gtk-greeter.desktop: No such file or directory; DEBUG: Failed to start greeter Had to install unity-greeter package manually. Then it all works. Is this a recommended package that should be a required package? -- 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.
