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

 

It's hardcoded to load a session called 'ubuntu' rather than something
called 'default'.  So this means that a lightdm conf file has to override
the default and a symlink to default.desktop does nothing.

  Please let vendors easily provide their own config

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.
