I have experienced this problem trying to start lxde using the TightVNC vncserver from systemd.
The process with the displayed PID is always lxsession. I resolved it by adding PAMName=login to my unit file. This suggestion came from https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/42425 Note: I did not have to specify "-fg" to vncserver, as also suggested in this bug (this option is anyway not supported by TightVNC). -- 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/1273524 Title: LXDE guest session shows error message "no session for pid <pid for lxsession>" Status in One Hundred Papercuts: Triaged Status in Light Display Manager: Triaged Status in Light Display Manager 1.18 series: Triaged Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in lxsession package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in lightdm source package in Xenial: Confirmed Status in lxsession source package in Xenial: Confirmed Bug description: EXPECTED RESULTS: Log into guest session with no error messages.
