[LightDM] lightdm sometimes kicks me out after autologin
I hope one of you lightdm gurus can help me. I use Arch GNU/Linux and have always used lightdm with autologin without any problems. With the two latest versions of lightdm that I've had on my system (1:1.4.0-3 and 1:1.14.2-1), sometimes lightdm will kick me out of my desktop to its graphical login screen immediately after autologin. For some strange reason, this only seems to happen on the first boot of each day--on subsequent boots, autologin works just fine. I've asked about this on the Arch forums, but have gotten nowhere. I am a member of the autologin group. My desktop environment is MATE 1.10 in case it matters. Here are some files you may want to see: 1) /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pnrizngv5kez6j9/lightdm.conf?dl=0 2) /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log (from today's first boot, when lightdm kicked me out after autologin): https://www.dropbox.com/s/yrfmdodgyzy7n46/lightdm.log%20%28kicked%20out%29?dl=0 3) /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log (from today's second boot, when autologin worked perfectly): https://www.dropbox.com/s/6uacmtnqnhosa0a/lightdm.log%20%28normal%29?dl=0 My computer is perfectly usable, but it bugs me a lot when it doesn't behave as expected. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bruno

[LightDM] lightdm sometimes kicks me out after autologin
Hi Bruno,>From the log we see:<snip> +0.90s] DEBUG: Session pid=706: Running command /etc/lightdm/Xsession mate-session [+0.90s] DEBUG: Creating shared data directory /var/lib/lightdm-data/bruno [+0.90s] DEBUG: Session pid=706: Logging to .xsession-errors [+0.96s] DEBUG: Activating VT 1 [+0.96s] DEBUG: Activating login1 session c1 [+0.96s] DEBUG: Seat seat0 changes active session to c1 [+0.96s] DEBUG: Session c1 is already active [+4.96s] DEBUG: Session pid=706: Exited with return value 0 <snip> Which says LightDM ran mate-session and for some reason it exited normally (after ~4 seconds). That's all LightDM knows unfortunately. Looking in ~/.xsession-errors after this might have a log message giving more information from mate-session. If mate-session is like gnome-session you could also edit the .desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions to run it with --debug and that may also give more information. --Robert On Wed, 15 Jul 2015 at 10:18 Bruno Dantas <dantas at airpost.net> wrote:> I hope one of you lightdm gurus can help me.
