[Bug 818201] Re: Login doesn't remember the last desktop session

 

I have a similar issue with regards to guest sessions. I've tried to
manually set the dmrc in /usr/sbin/guest-account, but that doesn't work.
I suppose there is a reason why those lines are commented. I've also
tried adding it to /etc/guest-session/skel/.dmrc, but that also doesn't
work.

When I say "doesn't work", I mean that after login, $/home/.dmrc uses
Session=ubuntu no matter what I do. This is bad, because some users have
setups that are capable of running Unity, but get a much better
performance with Unity 2D. Of course, you might want to let the guests
use the same shell as you're using yourself.

Title:
  Login doesn't remember the last desktop session

Status in Light Display Manager:
  Fix Released
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I log into Oneiric and choose the Ubuntu 2D desktop.  Then I reboot
  and go to log in again, but lightdm doesn't remember that I chose
  Ubuntu 2D last time, so by default it will log me in with the default
  Ubuntu desktop.
