I'm a bit confused here, could you elaborate a little? /var/lib/lightdm is created at postinst time with lightdm:lightdm and 0750 permission. /var/lib/lightdm/data is created at runtime and it should be lightdm:lightdm since it's created by a process running as lightdm user. Also, it works just fine by default everywhere else I think, so I think you need to be a little bit more specific so we can find what the issue is. Regards, -- Yves-Alexis
