Public bug reported: Lightdm on Ubuntu 16.04, also with Ubuntu-Mate 16.04 and Xubuntu 16.04 but *not* with Lubuntu 16.04
When logging in via Other > root a popup is shown reading: -- Error found when loading /root/.profile -- mesg: ttyname failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device -- As result the session will not be configured correctly. -- You should fix the problem as soon as feasible. After pressing OK the session is started without problems. Alternatively logging in via <Ctrl+Alt+F2> as root and issuing "startx -- :1" succeeds without problems.
