[Bug 1473149] Re: Lightdm refuses to work after installing kubuntu-desktop

 

Robert Ancell,Perhaps apport didn't generate good quality logs.I indeed enter wrong passwords a lot when I try to login.
but that is NOT the problem.It doesn't even get to login prompt when it fails the way I mentioned.It freezes on a black screen.and it doesn't show anything.after a small time I'll see the regular detailed start up screen.(The one you can see when Kubuntu/Ubuntu is starting up and you press Esc button to see)and then it freezes up,this time forever.(or is very slow?but sddm works instantly)
I do not know how to create better quality logs.

Title:
  Lightdm refuses to work after installing kubuntu-desktop

Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After installing kubuntu-desktop meta package I saw a prompt telling me that both sddm and lightdm are available and I am forced to choose one between them.so I chose lightdm.on the next reboot I was unable to use GUI.
  After 2-3 weeks,I retried using sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm and selected lightdm.still fails to run GUI.
  sddm works fine and is able to handle both Plasma and Unity.
