lightdm (1.10.2-0ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release:
    - Use logind to provide the list of seats to use. This is disabled unless
      logind-load-seats (in [LightDM] section) is set to true. This is the
      default behaviour in lightdm 1.12. (LP: #1190581)
    - Fix crash if running script hooks with non-X display servers.
      (LP: #1305006)
    - Add a seat option 'allow-user-switching' that can disable all user
      switching for that seat. (LP: #1350357)
    - Make PAM services configurable. (LP: #1348251)
    - Add liblightdm method to get user UID. (LP: #1370327)
    - Add a new session type 'mir-container' that allows the session to run
      inside a custom system compositor. (LP: #1359332)
    - Add --show-config option that shows combined configuration.
    - Use XDG_SESSION_ID from PAM instead of using the logind D-Bus API.
      (LP: #1364725)
    - Make socket writing code used between greeter and daemon more robust to
      errors.
    - Correct section name in default users.conf file.
    - Fix tests failing with Qt 5.3 due to it checking getuid/geteuid which we
      are faking.
    - Fix small memory leaks.
    - Test improvements

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Users trying to use the Unity8 desktop preview in a Linux Container cannot log in using LightDM.  They are presented a black screen with a cursor.

  [Test Case]
  1. Install the Unity8 desktop preview in LXC package (currently in a PPA here: https://code.launchpad.net/~unity8-desktop-session-team/+archive/ubuntu/unity8-preview-lxc) alongside the unity8-desktop-session-mir package in Universe.  Setup the Unity8 desktop preview in LXC as shown in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity8inLXC#Setting_up_the_Unity_8_Desktop_Preview_LXC
  2. Log in to the "Unity8 Mir in LXC" session from LightDM.

  The Unity8 desktop preview will load.

  [Regression potential]
  Non observed.

  Original Description:

  It would be desirable to allow both the Unity 8 desktop preview
  session from the archive and the Unity 8 desktop preview in the LXC to
  be installed at the same time.

  Currently, the Unity 8 desktop preview in LXC conflicts the "bare
  metal" Unity 8 desktop preview session.
