[Bug 1291454] Re: spontaneously logged out of lightdm session, authentication failed until logind restarted

 

This was probably an upgrade issue at the time.  It is certainly not
reproducible now.  Was logind being correctly restarted on package
upgrade?

Title:
  spontaneously logged out of lightdm session, authentication failed
  until logind restarted

Status in “systemd” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Out of nowhere, I was suddenly logged out of my X session today and
  dropped to a lightdm greeter screen.  attempts to log back in were
  kicked immediately back to the greeter.  A look at the lightdm log
  showed:

  [+7.44s] DEBUG: Seat: Display server ready, starting session authentication
  [+7.44s] DEBUG: Session pid=22931: Started with service 'lightdm-greeter', username 'lightdm'

  [+7.97s] DEBUG: Seat: Session stopped

  (you'll note from the timestamps that I had also tried restarting
  lightdm, which didn't fix the problem.)

  Only after I manually killed logind and restarted lightdm again was I
  able to log in.
