[Bug 1283826] Re: lightdm hangs after updates

 

Hi Bob!

Updated my name - still the same person.

Ok, it might also be that this bug has been open for so long time that
we are seeing multiple issues in here.

I know this feeling all too well. I have helped a lot of people to Linux
and in many cases to Ubuntu. It is always fun to get a phone call with
an issue similar to this. But at the same time I know that supporting
this kind of large project is not easy. I have had countless occasions
when I have problems on Windows or other OS when I have felt that I
should have gone with another one.

That said could you also provide your /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log as  an attachment.
And do I assume correctly that you have "greeter-session=unity-greeter" in the "/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf".

How comfortable are you experimenting on CLI?

  lightdm hangs after updates

Bug description:
  I've updated today my Trusy Thar installation. I can't login to Unity,
  with my account, or a guest account. Lightdm hangs after password
  input, or after I click on the Guest account.

  Also, I used to auto-login. Now it greets me with the screen where I
  must input my password. After inputing it, lightdm hangs and I can't
  login.
