Bug Description
I had a background such as this one:
http://
showing fine in lightdm, then I wanted to use lightdm-
I have removed the lightdm suite packages two or three times already, replacing the login screen by no login screen : with nodm, then reinstalling (a bit later) lightdm and it's friend's packages, and yet could not find how to narrow where the problem could be. I was looking the /etc/lightdm configuration files, and didn't find a clue. Having done a search on the "Askubuntu" place, I found a clue about a css file, so I looked into /usr/share/themes and found a css file under the Greybird theme. Not knowing if it could affect the configuration I un-installed greybird-gtk-theme for the time being. (Vivid is a test version right? So I am testing details, among other things, while using it daily).
I had reinstalled nodm last night, and once the session on, I removed it and re-installed lightdm and lightdm-gtk-greeter and the others once more: this time after logout/login, the lightdm login screen was black as originally! But when I again tried to configure my background, using lightdm-
Here are the last removes done:
***
$ history | grep "apt-get remove"
1426 sudo apt-get remove --purge lightdm-
1539 sudo apt-get remove --purge lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter
1721 sudo apt-get remove --purge nodm
1757 sudo apt-get remove nodm
1934 sudo apt-get remove --purge lightdm-gtk-greeter lightdm-
1969 sudo apt-get remove nodm && sudo apt-get install lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter
1987 sudo apt-get remove --purge greybird-gtk3-theme
1988 sudo apt-get remove --purge greybird-theme
1990 sudo apt-get remove --purge greybird-gtk-theme
1991 sudo apt-get remove lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter lightdm-
2013 sudo apt-get remove --purge lightdm-gtk-greeter
2039 sudo apt-get remove --purge razorqt-data
2050 history | grep "apt-get remove"
***
and also I did a research with find in all system directories where any lightdm configuration file could eventually be hiding. With the above removals, there seem to be none left:
***
$ dpkg -S lightdm
language-
***
What would be nice, if I knew what files lightdm-
Can I have any pointers to how find what is wrong to help solve this?
Best regards,
