The configured session is stored in a d-bus service called AccountsService.
You can change this by: $ gdbus call --system --dest org.freedesktop.Accounts --object-path /org/freedesktop/Accounts --method org.freedesktop.Accounts.FindUserByName your-username (objectpath '/org/freedesktop/Accounts/User1000',) $ gdbus call --system --dest org.freedesktop.Accounts --object-path /org/freedesktop/Accounts/User1000 --method org.freedesktop.Accounts.User.SetXSession your-session Or editing /var/lib/AccountsService/users/bob (you probably have to restart accounts service / your machine to take effect). ** Summary changed: - Greeter doesn't allow to switch sessions if only one session installed (user is set to old session) + Unable to log in if user has invalid session configured and no session switcher shown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1303725 Title: Unable to log in if user has invalid session configured and no session switcher shown To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-greeter/+bug/1303725/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
