[Bug 1468057] Re: Emit a warning about "logind-load-seats=true" and "xdg-seat=seatXXXX" option for LightDM 1.12+

 

This bug was fixed in the package lightdm - 1.15.1-0ubuntu1

---------------
lightdm (1.15.1-0ubuntu1) wily; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release:
    - Fix default X server command set to XMir in 1.15.0.
    - Internally merge the [SeatDefaults] and [Seat:*] sections together. The
      previous method meant configuration snippets using a mix of old and new
      naming would not correctly override eachother.
    - Use IP address of XDMCP requests to contact X server if available.
      (LP: #1481561)
    - Add an option for XDMCP and VNC servers to only listen on one address.
      (LP: #1390808)
    - Fix configuration file warnings so they go to the log, not stderr.
    - Warn if deprecated options logind-load-seats or xdg-seat are in
      configuration. (LP: #1468057)
    - Improve IP addresses in XDMCP log messages.
    - Fix typo in dm-tool man page. (LP: #1470587)

Title:
  Emit a warning about "logind-load-seats=true" and "xdg-seat=seatXXXX"
  option for LightDM 1.12+

Status in Light Display Manager:
  Fix Released
Status in Light Display Manager 1.14 series:
  Fix Committed
Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  LightDM 1.12 introduced a new logind-based mechanism for loading
  seats. Such a feature was later backported to 1.10.3 (so it can be
  used in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS), but it was made optional:

  [LightDM]
  logind-load-seats=true

  Now that we're halfway from a new Ubuntu LTS release, I think it would
  be useful if next LightDM release could emit a warning about "logind-
  load-seats=true" deprecation if it's set in lightdm.conf. Something
  like this:

  WARNING: Option "logind-load-seats=true" was specific for 1.10 series.
  You can safely remove it now.
