[Bug 1408275] Re: Unable to log in with lightdm

 

Can you please elaborate on what "unable to log in" means, i.e. what
happens? Does the computer freeze, or are you taken back to the login
screen?

Also, can you please let us know the contents of ~/.xsession-errors and
~/.xsession-errors.old when you log in via console right after a failed
attempt at a graphical login.

  Unable to log in with lightdm

Bug description:
  Unable to log in with lightdm

  This is a bug report against an up-to-date version of (k)ubuntu
  14.10/utopic. The issue seems to have been triggered by ubuntu updates
  between 23.12.2014 and 07.01.2015 (today).

  I'm unable to log in with lightdm. No matter what user, and I also
  tried guest. However I'm able to log on a (non-graphical) console/vt
  (i.e. without X).

  I found the following in /var/log/lightdm/x-0-greeter.log:

  QInotifyFileSystemWatcherEngine::addPaths: inotify_add_watch failed: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
  QFileSystemWatcher: failed to add paths: /var/lib/lightdm/.config/ibus/bus
  Bus::open: Can not get ibus-daemon's address.

  Hence the bug maybe releated to some ibus, dbus, systemd and/or
  upstart problem. But I don't care. This is the most severe problem for
  me in Ubuntu for nearly 10 years.
