I downloaded and installed debian testing (jessie rc2 netinstall) today. Then I tried to add user manually (useradd/passwd) or through the Preferences/Users and Groups GUI. In both cases the newly created user cannot log into the LXDE session.
Investigation showed that user home directory was not automatically created with either methods or efforts trying to change user to "Desktop" user in the Preferences/Users and Groups GUI. As a result lightdm failed to save ~/.dmrc file and ended session. It logged the error but didn't display. Manually creating user home ended the problem. I'd like to file a bug against lightdm, the Preferences/Users and Groups GUI and probably the useradd for this usability issue. I don't recall encountering this with many years experiences with different distros and desktops. It is probably my first time trying with LXDE though unless I used before without recognizing. How do you suggest if to file this bug? I'm fine if someone in devel team can help filing it. Thanks. Regards, Liyu
