I've put this testing off long enough, and the last time I ran into lightdm, with 14.04, I just purged it away and went back to KDM. Can't do that, KDM is no longer around, and older KDM's won't install.
Well time has come to solve the issues I have with 16.04...
I need XMDCP, period. Not VNC, not this or that other remote.. I ssh in and use Xephyr remotely and locally... so...
Fresh 16.04 install, updated... Ok.. that works... SDDM no XDMCP.. so thats got to go!
Install lightdm and lightdm-kde-greeter... package reconfigures and select ligthdm for the default DM... install finishes.. reboot..
A huge honking ugly purple screen comes up... with a user name.. and a password box... enter password...
"Failed to start session."
lightdm needed to bring in a huge bunch of stuff...
Has any one got lightdm to install and start X? I deal with getting it configured for XDMCP if I can solve this...
Any one succeeded with this?
