Closing this bug. While you can always generate invalid configuration
the conf.d support means this should not be possible without specific
modification by a sysadmin. If invalid configuration occurs the correct
behaviour is for lightdm to exit with error and a system level tool to
handle this (i.e
Modifying /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf from packages and/or using lightdm-
set-defaults was the old method of configuring greeters.
All packages should now install a configuration snippet into
/usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/ - this ensures the configuration
always matches what is installed.

The file /etc/lightdm/ligtdm.conf is being created while running
postinst script from lightdm-{kde,gtk}-greeter package. The script needs
the /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-set-defaults binary. This binary is owned
by lightdm package so it is necessary to install lightdm package before

Installing Precise from debootstrap, then kubuntu-desktop with
APT::Install-Recommends "false"; then lightdm, lightdm-kde-greeter, xorg,
linux-image-generic causes the similar problem with lightdm.

webkit-greeter does not help. I resorted myself into installing gdm as
an addon replacement for lightdm as I was unable to spot root source of
this problem.

There's the case for picking an available greeter so you always get
something, though this must be an external policy to lightdm as
different greeters might have different security levels. If we change
lightdm in Ubuntu to load the "default" greeter, then the packaging
system can control which gre
