** Description changed: - Lightdm crashes on startup for me, on Ubuntu 14.10. + [Impact] + Having the same configuration variable defined in two places causes LightDM to a double free and potentially crash. - This is the offending error: + [Test Case] + 1. Install two configuration files in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d which both define the same variable. + 2. Run LightDM + Expected result: + LightDM runs correctly. + Observed result: + LightDM double frees a variable (seen with valgrind) and can crash. - *** Error in `lightdm': double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x0000000002535ca0 *** - Aborted + [Regression Potential] + Low. The fix is not to double free the variable.
