Bug Description
When I log in with lightdm using systemd on my box, I do not get a proper systemd session. The results of which have multiple breakages of programs that require a seat, for example, access to USB devices.
Example after logging it via lightdm:
$ loginctl
SESSION UID USER SEAT
0 sessions listed.
In contrast, if I log in with gdm, I do get a proper systemd session.
Example:
$ loginctl
SESSION UID USER SEAT
9 1000 facade seat0
1 sessions listed.
Here is a reference describing how the display manager should work with systemd: http://

Adding the following line to /etc/pam.d/lightdm should fix this problem:
session optional pam_systemd.so
