Maybe lightdm was actually running. This would be possible:

- ps logs running processes (started by my script)
- lightdm starts and creates .goutputstream*
- next run of ps

But it could also be possible, that lightdm was started later. I will repeat this test and comment later again.

man ps

So this command only logs processes running with real or effective UID 1000. That is the UID of the user created at installation.
