2015-04-24 16:39:17 Reed O'Brien description DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=15.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=vivid DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 15.04" Package: lightdm-gtk-greeter 2.0.0-0ubuntu1 ubuntu-bug output is attached with deatiled system info. After upgrading Xubuntu from 14.10 to 15.04 the log in screen remains gray and the lightdm-gtk-greeter process consumes 100% CPU on one core. I expected a login screen. When stopping/starting the service with systemctl [re]start|stop lightdm.service I recieved "Error: No space left on device."" as an error. This was misleading as I don't a space issue. I added "allow-debugging=true" to "/etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf" then I restarted lightdm. In the log I could then see that the greeter was switching between active monitors endlessly. ... DEBUG-Message: [Background] Active monitor changed to: HDMI1 #1 DEBUG-Message: Read 8 bytes from daemon DEBUG-Message: Read 37 bytes from daemon DEBUG-Message: Prompt user with 1 message(s) DEBUG-Message: [Background] Active monitor changed to: DP1 #0 DEBUG-Message: [Background] Active monitor changed to: HDMI1 #1 DEBUG-Message: [Background] Active monitor changed to: DP1 #0 DEBUG-Message: [Background] Active monitor changed to: HDMI1 #1 DEBUG-Message: [Background] Active monitor changed to: DP1 #0 DEBUG-Message: [Background] Active monitor changed to: HDMI1 #1 DEBUG-Message: [Background] Active monitor changed to: DP1 #0 DEBUG-Message: [Background] Active monitor changed to: HDMI1 #1 DEBUG-Message: [Background] Active monitor changed to: DP1 #0 DEBUG-Message: [Background] Active monitor changed to: HDMI1 #1 DEBUG-Message: [Background] Active monitor changed to: DP1 #0 DEBUG-Message: [Background] Active monitor changed to: HDMI1 #1 DEBUG-Message: [Background] Active monitor changed to: DP1 #0 DEBUG-Message: [Background] Active monitor changed to: HDMI1 #1 DEBUG-Message: [Background] Active monitor changed to: DP1 #0 DEBUG-Message: [Background] Active monitor changed to: HDMI1 #1 DEBUG-Message: [Background] Active monitor changed to: DP1 #0 DEBUG-Message: [Background] Active monitor changed to: HDMI1 #1 DEBUG-Message: [Background] Active monitor changed to: DP1 #0 DEBUG-Message: [Background] Active monitor changed to: HDMI1 #1 ... So I set "active-monitor=0" and restarted lightdm. This solved the issue. I suspect this may only happen with multi monitor setups and on mirrors displays that have a cursor on both. This is unclear to me though.
