The problem seems to be /usr/lib/lxdm/lxdm-greeter-gtk crashing at g_key_file_load_from_file(). Also, lxappearance crashes similarly. This may be related: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/2361 . But the crash seems to be triggered by plasma.desktop and twm.desktop in /usr/share/xsessions. In both of those, the Name[whatever]= and Comment[whatever]= lines cause the crash. Yet xfce.desktop works with such lines.
/usr/lib/lxdm/lxdm-greeter-gdk does work but seems lacking in features. ** Bug watch added: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues #2361 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/2361 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1922443 Title: Lxdm black screen after Ubuntu 21.04 upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxdm/+bug/1922443/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
