After upgrading from 14.04.5 to 16.04.1 lightdm does not start. Only
error I could find reported was:
[+0.19s] DEBUG: Launching process 1927: /usr/share/lightdm_xrandr
[+0.21s] DEBUG: Process 1927 exited with return value 1
[+0.21s] DEBUG: Seat seat0: Exit status of /usr/share/lightdm_xrandr: 1
[+0.21s] DEBUG: Seat seat0: Stopping display server due to failed setup script
[+0.21s] DEBUG: Sending signal 15 to process 1922
[+0.59s] DEBUG: Process 1922 exited with return value 0
Looking at /usr/share/lightdm_xrandr output:
#!/bin/sh
xrandr --output Virtual1 --primary --mode 1920x1200
# /usr/share/lightdm_xrandr
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
warning: output Virtual1 not found; ignoring
# xrandr --listproviders
Providers: number : 0
# xrandr --listmonitors
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Monitors: 1
0: +*default 1920/508x1200/317+0+0 default
Changing
xrandr --output Virtual1 --primary --mode 1920x1200
to
xrandr --output default --primary --mode 1920x1200
leads to display of 1024x768 on a monitor capable of 1920x1200. Doesn't look
nice!
It worked with 14.04.5 seamless. I'd never had to think of it until upgrading!
