Reply for #16: I just upgraded two days ago directly from 11.04 to 11.11 via online update. I never had lightdm on this machine before. Thus the problem exists is in the current version.
AFAIKT the patch repairs the bug but does not fix the root cause, right? (Never mind, just for the sake of completeness. Main thing is that the problem is fixed.) My bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/878515 seems to be a dupe of this one. Only the user which made the upgrade was affected. The other users work. I will try to change ownership/authorizations of ~/.Xauthority this evening. Reply for #19: When will this patch be available for system actualization? When the status of Oneiric changes from "In Progress" to "Fix Committed"? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/871667 Title: .Xauthority sometimes owned by root, which blocks login Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in “lightdm” source package in Oneiric: In Progress Bug description: Each time I upgrade to a newer ubuntu on a particular machine, something breaks.
