[Bug 799754] Re: Please let vendors easily provide their own config

 

Unfortunately, this is not resolved as shown by the issues trying to
auto-login to a live session. Since lightdm now allows "ubuntu" only to
be used for a live session, and will not allow the solution used by
Lionel to work. Since Xubuntu used a symlink to
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, live session can not even see the user name
Ubuntu, and can not auto-login. That does not seem like a valid solution
to this bug report.

Title:
  Please let vendors easily provide their own config

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: lightdm

  Hi,

  Could you register lightdm.conf in the alternatives system? This would
  let derivatives set another default config easily (as done with gdm),
  and avoid the dpkg-divert nightmare that is going with gdm3.

  (currently, daily builds of xubuntu don't start any session because
  lightdm tries to start gnome which doesn't exist...)

  Thanks.
