I upgraded my laptop from 20.04.1 to 20.10 using do-release-upgrade and
found that icons were missing in lightdm-gtk-greeter. Logs suggested
that icon files and background wallpaper could not load due to out of
memory errors.

I performed a clean install of 20.10 and the icons were then working but
I was faced with a black screen 50% of the time. Logs also showed out of
memory errors loading fonts etc. systemd was constantly trying to
restart lightdm and failing causing a flickering screen.

I added the proposed channel and installed the lightdm-gtk-
greeter_2.0.6-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb package from there. Subsequent reboots
of my laptop have all worked as expected without any problems.

Thank you for this updated package. It does appear to fix the problem.
