Dont know if that helps: As far as i recall from when i experienced this bug, installing lightdm- gtk-greeter triggered an update-alternative when installing, not when removing tho.
when installing lightdm-gtk-greeter i had to manually edit lightdm.conf to greater-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter to usethe lightdm greeter, when removing the greeter and changing the key back to greeter-session=unity-greeter lightdm failed to start. i have no clue about lightdm internals, nor how greeter actually work, thats purely from an users POV but having a key in the config file and partially ignoring it and having redundant update-alternatives which partly work seems very very confusing and irritating to me. there may be a technical reason behind it, or something i dont get/understand, but well, i am just a user -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/977069 Title: After installaing and removing lightdm-gtk-greeter lightdm is left in a not working state To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm-gtk-greeter/+bug/977069/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
