** Description changed: - On Wily, updated daily: + [Impact] + dm-tool add-nested-seat doesn't work anymore. - petter@odin:~$ ac policy lightdm - lightdm: - Installed: 1.16.6-0ubuntu1 - Candidate: 1.16.6-0ubuntu1 + [Test Case] + 1. Log in + 2. From a terminal run "dm-tool add-nested-seat" - petter@odin:~$ dm-tool add-nested-seat + Expected result: + A window opens with a login screen + + Observed result: + A window opens with a black screen. An error is reported in the terminal: Unable to add seat: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed: Failed to start seat - I was hoping to get a nested X server with lightdm, but the Xephyr - windows briefly opens and then closes again. I have tried this on two - different installations of Wily with the same results. If I try to start - Xephyr manually and then start lightdm on it with 'dm-tool add- - local-x-seat' then dm-tool fails with exactly the same error message as - above. + [Regression Potential] + The code change could affect other remote X server configurations, though this seems unlikely. Regression tests confirm other behaviour still works.
