[Bug 1553592] Re: 16.04 casper 15_autologin file contains obsolete lightdm configuration

 

Taking off the incoming list. It's a low-priority bug that we should
fix, but it seems like it isn't urgent for the AA release.

Title:
  16.04 casper 15_autologin file contains obsolete lightdm configuration

Status in accountsservice package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper-bottom/15autologin

  the lightdm section of the file contains a lightdm configuration that
  is incorrect for 15.10 and later

  for example it writes out /root/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

  according to the lightdm wiki this should be
  /root/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/xyz.conf

  Additionally using [SeatDefaults] is wrong.  Again according the wiki
  [SeatDefaults] is obsolete and should be [Seat:*]

  Think this is probably why manual live CD creators and those who use
  Pinguy ISO Builder cannot create a lightdm autologin live CD
