Robert, there is currently no special code to handle /var/lib/lightdm/.Xauthority, it's handled by the same code as for any other user session. Would it be possible to make a special case there, so that the greeter uses /run/lightdm/.Xauthority, and every other user session uses ~/.Xauthority, as usual?
If not, we could think about shipping a /var/lib/lightdm/.Xauthority -> /run/lightdm/.Xauthority symlink. In either case, either lightdm itself or the upstart job needs to create /run/lightdm/ at startup with the right permissions. -- 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/932598 Title: Full hard drive causes xorg and lightdm to fail to load Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “lightdm” source package in Precise: Triaged Status in “mountall” source package in Precise: Fix Released Bug description: Steps: 1.
