Title:
/var/log/lightdm permissions incorrect i386 & amd64
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
$ ls -ld /var/log/lightdm
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2011-10-28 21:19 /var/log/lightdm
$
probably should be chmod 1770; chgrp lightdm; like /var/log/gdm
current permissions preclude creation of
/var/log/lightdm/x-0-greeter.log when lightdm runs the greeter as can
be seen from /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log:
