Public bug reported: After an upgrade from ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10, I was no more able to login with my usual account. Lightdm failed to load x session. After a long search, I understood that the problem was coming from ubuntu-2d xsession. My user account was configured to use unbuntu-2d when i was in ubuntu 12.04. But as this xsession has been removed in ubuntu 12.10, lightdm failed to load it.
I managed to fix my problem doing following steps : - edit my user file with gedit in this folder : /var/lib/AccountsService/users - replace "XSession=ubuntu-2d" by "XSession=ubuntu" - reboot ubuntu for the file modification to be taken in account. In my opinion, this fix should be applied automatically for all users using ubuntu-2d and upgrading their distribution. ** Affects: lightdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1059137 Title: Cannot login after un upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 (ubuntu-2d) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1059137/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
