** Description changed: - Now that initial logind support - https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/930488 was released for LightDM, - I'm opening this bug to request a step further: provide support to - logind's automatic multiseat feature. + [Impact] + LightDM does not use the information provided by logind to support automatic multi-seat setups. We have backported this support from LightDM 1.12 so this functionality can be used in 14.04 LTS. It is disabled by default. - I have absolutely no experience with D-Bus interfaces, but it seems that - LightDM has its own D-Bus interface for seat management, so I don't know - what would be better: replace it with logind D-Bus interface (if logind - is present) or chaining both (e.g.: a logind's SeatNew D-Bus signal - should trigger LightDM's SeatAdded D-Bus signal). Does it make sense? + [Test Case] + 1. Enable multiseat in the LightDM configuration: + [LightDM] + logind-load-seats=true + 2. Start LightDM + Expected result: + The greeter is shown on both monitors and two sessions can be logged in. + Observed result: + Currently only one monitor / seat works. + + [Regression Potential] + There is some risk of unrelated code being changed. This has been reduced by the use of regression tests, manual testing and providing this in the Ubuntu Desktop PPA.
