Bug Description
As described on https:/
matthijs@Simba:~$ lightdm --test-mode
Running inside an X server requires Xephyr to be installed but it cannot be found. Please install it or update your PATH environment variable.
When I then install the xserver-xephyr package and try again, a small window opens for less than a second and then closes again. No errors, no testing environment. Nothing.
