Title:
boot hangs waiting for lightdm after purging gdm (wrong default-
display-manager)
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in “lightdm” source package in Oneiric:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I've installed Oneiric beta2 and at some point installed and purged
gdm. After that, boot will hang waiting for lightdm to start, which
never happens. This is because /etc/X11/default-display-manager ends
up saying "lightdm" whereas /etc/init/lightdm.conf accepts
"/usr/bin/lightdm" or "/usr/sbin/lightdm". The user sees the splash
screen messages "Waiting for up to 60 more seconds for network
configuration" and "Booting system without full network
configuration".
However, the fix is to edit the contents of /etc/X11/default-display-
manager to read "/usr/sbin/lightdm".
