Lubuntu - login name is empty at first boot

[Thibaut Brandscheid]

Problem:
When booting Lubuntu for the first time there is no user name selected in the login manager. Also bear in mind that it’s the first thing a new users sees.

Solution:
Select the user account that was created during the installation as default login user.

Thank you for your bug report, could you add the lightdm and greeter logs to the bug report. What greeter do you use?

I use the default Lubuntu greeter.
