[Bug 842194] Re: greeter doesn't start "failed to load session file"
There's the case for picking an available greeter so you always get
something, though this must be an external policy to lightdm as
different greeters might have different security levels. If we change
lightdm in Ubuntu to load the "default" greeter, then the packaging
system can control which greeter this is with a symlink.

Title:
greeter doesn't start "failed to load session file"
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
As of today, lightdm on oneiric doesn't show a login screen. I have
verified the greeters are installed so this is different to bug
816646. The most likely lines in the log seem to be
Failed to load session file /usr/share/xgreeters/.desktop: No such file or directory
Failed to start greeter
Stopping display
I'm just left at a text screen with various stair-stepped log
messages.
