Public bug reported:
I'm configuring a preseeded automated installation of Ubuntu 12.04.
Because in its final state the system will get all its users from the
local Active Directory domain I do not have an initial user created, so
in my preseed configuration file I have the line:
d-i passwd/make-user boolean false
My organisation's policies prohibit a guest account, so a
preseed/late_command edits /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf to include the
line:
allow-guest=false
With this arrangement, when lightdm starts at boot time, it starts an X
server and displays a black screen with the mouse pointer in. This
screen disappears almost immediately. This is repeated 59 times, making
switching to another virtual console difficult.
lightdm should behave more sensibly when a local user is not available.
