correct as I can't find any info on who should own it.
It would be more useful to those trying to help you if you showed the

root@hawk:~# ls -ld /var/lib/lightdm
drwxr-x--- 6 lightdm lightdm 4096 Oct 29 2021 /var/lib/lightdm
root@hawk:~# ls -la /var/lib/lightdm
total 28
drwxr-x--- 6 lightdm lightdm 4096 Oct 29 2021 .
drwxr-xr-x 70 root root 4096 Sep 30 16:10 ..
drwxr-xr-x 7 lightdm lightdm 4096 Oct 29 2021 .cache

I did indeed. In checking what I had there were a couple of
differences which hadn't seemed to make much difference. But I have
fixed those now.
I appreciate your help.
