This is a side-effect of the greeter output not being redirected to the
correct log file.  It should be fixed in the version going through SRU
at the moment.

Title:
  lightdm writes continously to stdout/stderr

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The soon-to-be introduced Upstart feature that allows job output to be
  logged has shown that lightdm is outputting a lot of data to
  stdout/stderr.

  /etc/init/lightdm.conf currently just execs lightdm so a quick fix is
  to run instead:

    exec lightdm >/dev/null 2>&1

  However, maybe lightdm should not be outputting such data by default?

  Example of data:
