Package: lightdm Version: 1.10.3-3 Severity: minor when in a user's home directory a .Xauthority file exists that is owned by root (which for example happens when trying to debug a non-starting x server with sudo startx or from buggy desktop managers), lightdm's user sessions terminate without indication of what is wrong (no mention of Xauthority in any log file).
in comparison, startx gives a debug message about not being able to write to .Xauthority, and xdm seems to unlink the .Xauthority file. both behaviors would be viable solutions in my opinion, but the current form of silent failure is hard to debug; please consider easing that either way. thank you chrysn -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages lightdm depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii consolekit 0.4.6-5 ii dbus 1.8.14-1 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.55 ii libc6 2.19-13 ii libgcrypt20 1.6.2-4+b1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.42.1-1 ii libpam-systemd 215-10 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.1 ii libxcb1 1.10-3+b1 ii libxdmcp6 1:1.1.1-1+b1 ii lightdm-gtk-greeter [lightdm-greeter] 1.8.5-2 Versions of packages lightdm recommends: ii xserver-xorg 1:7.7+7 Versions of packages lightdm suggests: ii accountsservice 0.6.37-3+b1 ii upower 0.99.1-3.1 -- Configuration Files: /etc/apparmor.d/lightdm-guest-session b51cea1a1248cf9bf45f2e9024c7734f [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/etc/apparmor.d/lightdm-guest-session b51cea1a1248cf9bf45f2e9024c7734f' -- debconf information: lightdm/daemon_name: /usr/sbin/lightdm * shared/default-x-display-manager: lightdm
