Title:
/var/lib/lightdm not created by default
Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in lightdm source package in Wily:
Fix Committed
Status in lightdm source package in Xenial:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[Impact]
After apt-get purge lightdm the /var/lib/lightdm folder is deleted and then
never recreated reinstalling the lightdm package. The folder is necessary due
to the create of the .Xauthority file.
[Test Case]
1. $ sudo apt-get purge lightdm
2. $ sudo apt-get install lightdm
Expected result:
LightDM starts
Observed result:
Lightdm can't start. Manually creating /var/lib/lightdm and chown
lightdm:lightdm makes it work.
[Regression Potential]
Low. The change is to not remove /var/lib/lightdm on package removal. This
directory should only be removed when the user is removed.
