Title:
lightdm does not start on boot since change to use plymouth-ready
(precise)
Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in lightdm source package in Precise:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Lightdm fails to start on boot up, resulting in a blank screen.
Lightdm can be started manually from tty1, for example, after the
machine has been booted up.
If the default browser is set to gdm, then gdm starts up on boot.
This problem first arose immediately after upgrade to 3.2.0-45-generic
(from 3.2.0-44) in Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
I have tried, to no avail,
1. Moving etc/X11/xorg.conf to a backup
2. uninstalling unity-greeter, lightdm, lightdm-gobject-1-0
3. deleting /etc/lightdm and /var/lib/lightdm
4. rebooting and reinstalling unity-greeter, lightdm, lightdm-gobject-1-0
5. Adding the line "sleep 2" immediately before "exec lightdm" in
/etc/init/lightdm.conf
6. Checking that /etc/X11/default-display-manager says "/usr/sbin/lightdm"
After reinstalling all the above it was necessary to change ownership of
.Xauthority from root to my userid, to
allow lightdm to accept a password. After this lightdm still works but still
does not start up on boot.
