I've been using lightdm for about a year now and with all the versions I've tried, Gentoo prints a message about lightdm and xdm failing to stop if I reboot from the lightdm menu or the xfce4 menu. If I issue 'reboot' as root from an xterm within xfce4, lightdm stops fine. I couldn't find anything in the logs, but in which one of syslog-ng's logs should I look? I'm also wonder if there's a way to switch login usernames when I'm being prompted for a password by lightdm in case I mistyped the username? - Grant
Hi Grant, Firstly it depends on what greeter you are using, you will find more information in /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log and /var/log/lightdm/x-0-greeter.log (please attach here).

I think it's difficult for us that don't use Gentoo. But it looks like some permission problem as you can stop them as root but not as a normal user. I don't know what takes care of that, PAM? Attached are lightdm's /etc/pam.d/ files in Fedora 17. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
