[Bug 908627] Re: lightdm starts neither on startup nor via tty

 

Hi Dave,

As you pointed, removing unity-greeter package caused the problem. After
installing it, lightdm starts.

Thank you for spending your time on this problem.

Regards.

Title:
  lightdm starts neither on startup nor via tty

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After a regular upgrade on Ubuntu 11.10 Unity 2D session, I installed
  gnome-session-fallback package, then removed it (#apt-get purge gnome-
  session-fallback). This steps drive me to a system in which lightdm
  does not start. I can try to start it via tty1[2...6] but it did not
  start.

  What I expected to happen is that lightdm starts and greets me.

  What happened instead is that it does not start.

  Procedure to repeat:

  1- Install gnome-session-fallback package
  2- Remove completely gnome-session-fallback package
  3- Restart computer

  PS: English is not my native language so it is possible for me to make
  mistakes.
