I also have this bug. It results in a failure to start my x11vnc service. I had this in /etc/init/x11vnc.conf and it worked until this bug was introduced:
start on login-session-start script /usr/bin/x11vnc -xkb -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -noxrecord -noxfixes -noxdamage -rfbauth /etc/x11vnc.pass -forever -bg -rfbport 5900 -o /var/log/x11vnc.log end script Now I get the error in the log, and the service fails to start. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1414420 Title: initctl: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused Status in Light Display Manager: Confirmed Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: That vivid system booted with systemd (systemd-sysv installed) have logged to journalctl: lightdm[1195]: initctl: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused lightdm[1220]: PAM unable to dlopen(pam_kwallet.so): /lib/security/pam_kwallet.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory lightdm[1220]: PAM adding faulty module: pam_kwallet.so lightdm[1220]: pam_unix(lightdm-greeter:session): session opened for user lightdm by (uid=0) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.04 Package: lightdm 1.13.1-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.19.0-2.2-generic 3.19.0-rc4 Uname: Linux 3.19.0-2-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.15.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: i386 CurrentDesktop: GNOME Date: Sun Jan 25 11:35:37 2015 SourcePackage: lightdm UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/1414420/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
