Title:
/var/lib/lightdm files owned by invalid user after reinstall
(directory should be clean when lightdm is removed)
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “lightdm” source package in Precise:
Confirmed
Bug description:
While I was trying out different display managers, I removed, then
removed completely and then later reinstalled lightdm. This ended
up changing the user id of lightdm. However, the dot files in
/var/lib/lightdm were still owned by the old, now invalid user id and
so lightdm could not read them. lightdm now did not start because it
couldn't open its .Xauthority file. I fixed this by removing all
the dot files in the /var/lib/lightdm directory and then letting
lightdm recreate them. It looks like the "remove completely" option
should remove the dot files in /var/lib/lightdm so they will be
recreated with the correct userid if lightdm is reinstalled at a later
date.
