[Bug 1473149] [NEW] Lightdm refuses to work after installing kubuntu-desktop

 

Public bug reported:

After installing kubuntu-desktop meta package I saw a prompt telling me that both sddm and lightdm are available and I am forced to choose one between them.so I chose lightdm.on the next reboot I was unable to use GUI.
After 2-3 weeks,I retried using sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm and selected lightdm.still fails to run GUI.
sddm works fine and is able to handle both Plasma and Unity.
Ubuntu 15.04 with lightdm 1.14.2-0ubuntu1
