Title:
  Wrong access on directory /var/log/lightdm

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Directory /var/log/lightdm is owned by user and group root. Only root
  is allowed to write this directory. Since lightdm tries to write its
  logfile to this directory this fails, since lightdm does not have
  necessary rights to write /var/log/lightdm.

  Simply change:
  # chgrp lightdm
  # chmod g+w lightdm

  will solve this issue.
  The directory shall be created with the correct rights set allowing lightdm writing its logfile there.
