[Bug 1365336] Re: Lightdm update=No desktop

 

I've crated a topic in NVIDIA DevZone Forums about shipping this udev
rule. Someone have pointed out about the possibility of no kernel
devices (like /dev/dri/card*) being available, since they are not
created by NVIDIA drivers, but by other kernel modules.

So I'm proposing this alternative udev rule as a fallback for the case
we cannot guarantee /dev/dri/card* is available in the system:

SUBSYSTEM=="pci", ATTRS{vendor}=="0x10de", DRIVER=="nvidia",
TAG+="seat", TAG+="master-of-seat"

Bug description:
  Update to lightdm from 1.11.7-0ubuntu1 to 1.11.8-0ubuntu1 leaves me
  with no desktop on normal boot.

  Machine boots directly to tty1.

  Logged in at tty1 and then startx leads to a desktop that requires
  password to start properly and with themes unapplied.

  Password required to reboot machine.
