[Bug 1408275] Re: Unable to log in with lightdm
Sorry for being fuzzy. This is what happens:
# lightdm greeting screen comes up after boot as expected.
# trying to log in from the lightdm greeting screen (with whatever user to whatever desktop environment)
# X11 is stopped, screen falls back to vt (black screen with a few white characters on it) for half a second or so. There is some output (error message) on vt, but there is no time for me to read it.
# lightdm greeting screen is started again. I'm still not logged-in (but I can try over and over again).
Work-around:
As already mentioned, logging in is possible by:
# Cntrl-Alt-F2 (or some other combination) to get to a (non-graphical) vt.
# Log in (non-graphical, i.e. without X11, lightdm greeting screen) on the vt
# Starting the X11 user session, e.g. with 'startx /usr/bin/startkde -- :3'

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

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.
