Package: lightdm Version: 1.16.7-1 Severity: important Tags: upstream Hello,
I've just spent the better part of a day trying to get lightdm to spawn multiple instances as suggested in the config file and various older forum posts and howtos -- just to finally find out that it doesn't do that anymore and silently ignores any manually configured additional "seats": https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/lightdm/2014-August/000661.html. This should at the very least be documented in the default config file and NEWS (not buried in the changelog for 1.11.7), better yet ignored configuration should throw a warning. The behaviour itself breaks a use case of mine, namely launching multiple persistent VNC servers as shared "graphical consoles". That wouldn't be that much of a problem if I could just switch dms, but gdm3, whatever-KDE's-dm-is-called-now and lxdm don't support launching multiple servers anymore either. It's all systemd/logind now ... ... Any chance to add manual configuration back?
