Title: Lightdm killed during boot (kills itself?) Status in Light Display Manager: New Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I'm running 12.10, and since installing the stable release in October I didn't install any upgrades. This week, after installing the latest upgrades, lightdm stopped working: the Xserver starts, and dies immediately, leaving me on a tty7 with remains of log messages. If I log in and manually restart lightdm, it works. I think I am not alone in this, as a user had reported exactly the same back in July in the xubuntu-users mailing list: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-users/2012-July/004252.html I've done some tests and: - If I disable plymouth (by removing splash from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub) the bug goes away - If I press 'esc' to exit plymouth before lightdm triess to start the bug also goes away Looking at the lightdm log, it seems that it decides to kill itself: ... [+1.22s] DEBUG: Starting Light Display Manager 1.4.0, UID=0 PID=1138 (notice the pid) ... [+5.59s] DEBUG: New display ready, switching to it [+5.59s] DEBUG: Activating VT 7 [+6.53s] DEBUG: Greeter start authentication for knuckles [+6.54s] DEBUG: Started session 1862 with service 'lightdm', username 'knuckles' [+6.54s] DEBUG: Greeter start authentication for knuckles [+6.54s] DEBUG: Session 1862: Sending SIGTERM [+6.54s] DEBUG: Started session 1863 with service 'lightdm', username 'knuckles' [+6.54s] DEBUG: Got signal 15 from process 1138 (signal to die received from itself!!) [+6.54s] DEBUG: Caught Terminated signal, shutting down ... This is what leads me to believe that the bug is in lightdm.
